Mexican authorities confirmed Monday the arrest of a high-ranking member of the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) and a direct relative of the group's leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho."
In a joint operation involving multiple federal and intelligence agencies, officials arrested José Luis Sánchez Valencia, alias "El Chalamán," in the state of Colima on Aug. 23. Authorities said intelligence reports helped track Sánchez's movements and pinpoint his location.
