US Treasury Dept Sanctions Individuals Supporting
Powerful Mexico - Based Drug Cartels
Action Targets Nine
Individuals Tied to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) and the Los
Cuinis Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO)
WASHINGTON—Today, the
U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
sanctioned nine Mexican individuals linked to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva
Generacion (CJNG) and its close ally, the Los Cuinis Drug Trafficking
Organization (DTO), which were initially sanctioned on April 8, 2015. The nine individuals are designated as Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers
(SDNTs) pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act)
for providing material assistance to the drug trafficking activities of Nemesio
Oseguera Cervantes (a.k.a. “Mencho”) and his brother-in-law, Abigael Gonzalez
Valencia, the respective leaders of CJNG and the Los Cuinis DTO. As a result of today’s action, any assets
these individuals may have under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen, and U.S. persons
are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.
“Today’s action strikes
at the inner circles of CJNG and the Los Cuinis DTO by targeting the complicit
family members of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes and Abigael Gonzalez Valencia and
other key players in their drug trafficking operations,” said John E. Smith,
Acting Director of OFAC. “We will
continue to work closely with the Mexican private sector in our efforts to
expose, isolate, and disrupt the finances of Mexican cartels.”
The Treasury Department
and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Los Angeles Field Division worked
closely in order to execute today’s action.
“These designations
mark another significant blow to the financiers of CJNG and the Los Cuinis
DTO,” said Steve Comer, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA’s Los Angeles Field
Division. “Such efforts reflect the
brilliant partnership between DEA Los Angeles and OFAC as we target two of the
most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations in the World.”
Antonio Oseguera
Cervantes (Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes’ brother) and Julio Alberto Castillo
Rodriguez (Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes’ son-in-law) are among the individuals
designated today. Both individuals
provided material support to the narcotics trafficking activities of CJNG. Antonio Oseguera Cervantes and Julio Alberto
Castillo Rodriguez were arrested in Mexico in December 2015 and April 2016,
respectively. In addition, Antonio
Oseguera Cervantes served a prison sentence in the United States following a
1996 arrest on heroin charges before being deported to Mexico and reengaging in
drug trafficking activity.
Five siblings of
Abigael Gonzalez Valencia – Arnulfo, Edgar Eden, Elvis, Marisa Ivette, and
Noemi Gonzalez Valencia – are designated for providing material support to the
narcotics trafficking activities of the Los Cuinis DTO. Elvis Gonzalez Valencia was arrested in
Mexico in January 2016.
Two additional
individuals are designated today for supporting the trafficking activities of
CJNG and the Los Cuinis DTO. Fabian Felipe
Vera Lopez provided material support to the narcotics trafficking activities of
the Los Cuinis DTO and served a prison sentence in the United States following
a 1996 arrest on methamphetamine charges.
Maria Teresa Quintana Navarro is a Guadalajara-based attorney who
provided material support to the drug trafficking activities of both CJNG and
the Los Cuinis DTO.
In previous actions
targeting CJNG and the Los Cuinis DTO, OFAC designated multiple Mexican
companies, including Hotelito Desconocido, a luxury boutique hotel that Mexican
authorities seized on the same day it was designated. However, other designated entities, such as
the shopping centers Plaza Los Tules in Zapopan, Jalisco and Xaman Ha Center in
Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, continue to operate.
In March 2014, based on
an investigation led by the Los Angeles Field Division of the DEA, a federal
grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia indicted
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes and Abigael Gonzalez Valencia on several narcotics-related
charges, including being the principal leaders of a Continuing Criminal
Enterprise. Gonzalez Valencia was
captured by Mexican authorities in late February 2015, but Oseguera Cervantes
remains a fugitive.
Since June 2000, more
than 1,900 entities and individuals have been named pursuant to the Kingpin Act
for their role in international narcotics trafficking. Penalties for violations of the Kingpin Act
range from civil penalties of up to $1.075 million per violation to more severe
criminal penalties. Criminal penalties
for corporate officers may include up to 30 years in prison and fines of up to
$5 million. Criminal fines for
corporations may reach $10 million.
Other individuals could face up to 10 years in prison and fines pursuant
to Title 18 of the United States Code for criminal violations of the Kingpin
Act.
