Mexico is set to deploy 100,000 security forces to ensure calm during the World Cup this summer after the killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho" and longtime leader of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, the government said.
Gen. Román Villalvazo, who will be tasked with the security operation during the World Cup, said forces will be drawn from the military, members of the country's security ministry and private security firms. Most of them will be in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, where the matches will be played.
