Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, alias Tony Montana, brother of Nemesio Oseguera "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., for more time to negotiate a possible plea deal with prosecutors and thus avoid a trial.
In a letter signed by his defense attorney, Frank Pérez, who also defends other drug traffickers such as El Mayo Zambada and the leaders of Los Zetas, the court is asked to postpone the review hearing of the case against Oseguera, which is scheduled for May 2.
Oseguera was one of the 29 drug traffickers expelled by the Mexican government on February 27 without a completed extradition process.
The letter, which was also signed in advance with the prosecutors responsible for the case, states that the option of reaching a settlement that provides a short solution to the case without going to trial is on the table, but that more time is needed to assess the appropriateness of an alternative solution.
Furthermore, both Pérez and the prosecutors explain that they also require more time for the defense to review the evidence that is part of the case. Although it has been available for some time, its volume and quantity require more time to analyze it.
This evidence includes various documents and, as is common in these cases, recordings of communications between drug traffickers or informants. There is also evidence previously submitted by Mexico.
“The discovery materials provided to date, which include a response under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) by the Mexican government and more than 75,000 communications intercepted with judicial authorization, total 17.5 gigabytes,” the letter signed by both parties states.
“The parties also report that more time is needed to review the evidence and evaluate the possibility of a resolution that avoids going to trial,” it stated.
In this context, both Pérez and the prosecutors propose that the judge presiding over the case, Beryl A. Howell, postpone the case review hearing until at least July or a later date in order to conclude the review of evidence and announce a possible settlement.
Since this request is not opposed by either party, it is highly likely that the judge will grant the postponement.
Charges and Connections
Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, a former high-ranking member of the CJNG (Jalisco National Liberation Army), faces two charges for multiple drug trafficking and the illegal use of high-powered weapons.
He also faces potential sentences ranging from 20 years in prison to life imprisonment. At the time, he was also sanctioned and placed on the Treasury Department's list of individuals with criminal activities.
In December 2015, Tony Montana was arrested in Mexico, but irregularities in his arrest led to his release. In 2022, he was recaptured pursuant to an arrest warrant for extradition.
Oseguera is one of several individuals prosecuted in US courts for links to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. One of the most prominent indictments prior to Tony Montana's case was Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, son of Nemesio Oseguera, who received a life sentence last March.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes is also wanted by authorities in Mexico and the United States. There is an offer of up to $15 million for his capture.

This duchbag is ready to start singing like a canary. He's going to give up Mencho's exact location, the number of hitmen protecting him and the type of weapons they have at their disposal. After the U.S extracts this information they will go to the Mexican president in order to assemble a group of Mexican military and U.S special forces. They will go to Mencha's location blasting away missiles and rockets. Once the dust settles and all CJNG scumbags are dead they will move in to take DNA samples for proper identification of the bodies. No more CJNG leader. Nuff Said!!!
