Rubén Oseguera-Gonzalez, "El Menchito" is Found Guilty in Washington DC

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat


A federal jury in Washington D.C., deliberated for several hours over two days before finding the younger Oseguera guilty of both counts in his indictment: conspiring to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine for U.S. importation and using a firearm in a drug conspiracy.

The son of a Mexican drug cartel leader was convicted Friday of charges that he used violence, including the deadly downing of a military helicopter, to help his father operate one of the country’s largest and most dangerous narcotics trafficking organizations.

Rubén Oseguera, known as “El Menchito,” is the son of fugitive Jalisco New Generation cartel boss Nemesio Oseguera and served as the “CJNG” cartel’s second-in-command before his extradition to the U.S. in February 2020.


“El Menchito now joins the growing list of high-ranking Cartel leaders that the Justice Department has convicted in an American courtroom,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in an emailed statement. “We are grateful to our Mexican law enforcement partners for their extensive cooperation and sacrifice in holding accountable leaders of the Jalisco Cartel.”

The younger Oseguera, who was born in California and holds dual U.S.-Mexican citizenship, is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 10 by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell.

He didn’t have an obvious reaction to the jury’s verdict. One of his lawyers patted him on his shoulder before he was led out of the courtroom.


Prosecutors showed jurors a rifle bearing Oseguera’s nicknames, “Menchito” and “JR,” along with the cartel’s acronym. The gun was in his possession when he was arrested.


“JR” also was etched on a belt found at the site where a Mexican military helicopter crashed after cartel members shot the aircraft down with a rocket-propelled grenade in 2015. Prosecutors said the younger Oseguera, now 34, ordered subordinates to shoot down the helicopter in Jalisco, Mexico, so that he and his father could avoid capture.



Oseguera ordered the killings of at least 100 people and frequently bragged about murders and kidnappings, according to prosecutors. They said he personally shot and killed at least two people, including a rival drug trafficker and a disobedient subordinate.

During the trial’s closing arguments Thursday, Justice Department prosecutor Kaitlin Sahni described Oseguera as “a prince, an heir to an empire.”


“But this wasn’t a fairytale,” she said. “This was the story of the defendant’s drugs, guns and murder, told to you by the people who saw it firsthand.”

Jurors heard testimony from six cooperating witnesses who tied Oseguera to drug trafficking.

Defense attorney Anthony Colombo tried to attack the witnesses’ credibility and motives, calling them “sociopaths” who told self-serving lies about his client.

“They’re all pathological liars,” he said.

Jurors also saw coded BlackBerry messages that Oseguera exchanged with other cartel leaders and underlings. One exchange showed that Oseguera was offended when his uncle mocked his cocaine’s purity, Sahni said.


“The defendant was proud of the cocaine he was distributing,” she added.

Columbo argued that prosecutors didn’t present sufficient evidence that the CJNG cartel trafficked drugs in the U.S.

“Ten years and not one seizure,” he said. “There’s no proof that it was coming to the U.S.”

But prosecutors said Oseguera used increasingly extreme acts of violence to maintain his family’s power over a global drug trafficking operation, including in the U.S.

“The defendant decided who he worked with and who worked for him,” another prosecutor, Kate Naseef, told jurors.

      Next extradite Mencho's wife and slam her with life in a cement box! Give the millions of dead and addicted from her poison some justice! Will also give all these narco women who think they are untouchable nightmares! Should've built a better case against Emma and slammed her with a life sentence!

    4. 7:18pm He had the deal in place already. News of this traveled down to his father. Mencho got pissed and ordered that he change lawyer. The new lawyer assigned to Menchito works for the cartel. The lawyer passed on his father's message to cancel the deal. What exactly was said? Probably that someone in the inside of prison was going to kill him if he talked. Nuff Said!!!

    6. 8:53, 11:10 you both wrong one of his uncles testified against him, look it up . Yes cartel de los sapos have been on a role but every cartel snitches it’s been proven and documented and he will not get 10 years . He was offered a deal for 40 and he gave a statement. Down the road he decided not to cooperate and now the US will make a axample out of him using his statements . It’s becoming a trend for these privileged narcos to cause distruction and fear and sorrow for the honest working people in Mexico and also for the US. Once caught to cooperate and aventually cooperate with the DEA or FBI to live a happy life after wards . The cheerleaders don’t see nothing wrong with this . I am not on any cartel side but Gilbertonas are known snitches and there time has come to pay for all the snitching Mario and Chapo have done . It’s coming back to them .

    8. Yes, I’m afraid Menchito is headed for ADX. He is too high profile for even the most corrupt agent, or judge to set him free. He had enough information and still does, more than likely. However, with all the extraditions in the past 12 months, it appears, as if the FBI & DEA are going to do everything within their power to ensure he does life plus. His only possible redemption and second chance appears to lie with the CIA. And that appears to be a longshot. I think the feds, spies, and the druggies have a hard on for him that’s not gonna go away. One things for sure he’s going to do more time to Chapo or Mayo.

      Menchito was in the front of the dishonor line looking for a deal. He didn't choose prison over dishonor. They offered him a "deal" where he would be eligible for parole at age 66. He turned down the "offer". All of these big bad narcos are snitches and Menchito is no exception. He was ready to cooperate, they only had to offer him a realistic plea.

      Delete
    4. You're right about the lack of honour, but that isn't why he turned down the deal. It would have compromised his families protection. It's always about protection.

  13. On September 18, 2024, NPR states:

    ‘Fentanyl may be harder to find and less pure in some areas because of law enforcement efforts targeting Mexican drug cartels ..

    ‘many people using fentanyl now carry naloxone, a medication that reverses most opioid overdoses

    ‘ The chemical xylazine is also being mixed with fentanyl by ‘drug gangs.’ While toxic in humans, causing lesions and other serious long-term health problems, xylazine may delay the onset of withdrawal symptoms in some users.’

  21. They say this guy threw very extravagant parties in his rancho in the Zapopan area. There were bottles of Don Julio Real but of course the cases of Scotch were not lacking. You would see horses from the Netherlands entertain wealthy daughters of families from legal businesses. The dudes were in high end business Armani shirts and vests which was typical of the era. They probably had that narco JR. vibe going on with with slick back hair. So they were looking more like pretty boy executives of a company rather than poor barrio buchones with a beard to look scary and manly. More pop music and electronic rather than corridos playing. A team of security around the perimeter in all black Hummers. Such happiness and danger combined is force of oddity. The parties in which you could die any moment they said.

  44. 11:28/11:32 El Chango Méndez and R"N"OC are compadres. I think both baptized each other's sons. Lara is the one who has said these things and you have his stories mixed up.
    Nazario is the one who was told by Chango not to kill Mencho when he was captured in LFM territory and brought to Chango as he was located near his territories.
    Chango and El Más Loco became enemies in time when they split up and Chango was captured and EML formed CT. Lara has also said that Mencho also gave a pass to EML when he was surrounded by his "AutoDefensas" when they along with the government dismantled CT.
    In terms of longevity and power as a Boss, Mencho has surpassed both Chango and El Más Loco.
