Mexican authorities delivered another major blow to the leadership structure of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) with the capture of Audias Flores Silva, also known as "El Jardinero," one of the cartel's most powerful figures and the alleged right-hand man of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the CJNG's leader who died in February.
The arrest took place in Nayarit and was confirmed Monday, April 27, by Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch, who said Flores Silva was wanted in Mexico and by U.S. authorities for extradition.
