The U.S. government has offered a $25 million reward for information leading to the capture of Juan Carlos González, also known as “Pelón,” increasing pressure on the U.S. citizen identified as a key figure in Mexico’s most powerful cartel. The reward marks a significant increase from the previous $5 million bounty.
During the administration of President Donald Trump, $100 million in rewards was offered for various leaders of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), with visa restrictions also imposed on family and business associates.
