The son of fugitive Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) boss was sentenced to life in prison and ordered to forfeit over $6 billion in drug trafficking proceeds after being convicted of running one of Mexico's most violent criminal organizations.

Rubén Oseguera, known as "El Menchito," was second-in-command of CJNG for seven years before his extradition to the United States in February 2020, AP News reported. The cartel, notorious for its brutality, has been responsible for mass killings, drug trafficking and attacks on Mexican authorities.
