Mexican forces captured Audias Flores Silva, alias "Jardinero," one of the alleged top commanders of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and a figure identified as a possible successor to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho," after his death in a military operation earlier this year.
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. García Harfuch said the U.S. government had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture.
