Judge Orders the Release of Mencho's Brother Rodo from Custody

"HEARST" & "Char" for Borderland Beat


A judge has ordered that Mencho’s brother Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Rodo”, be released from federal custody.


The reporter Manuel Espino Bucio writes that Rodo is currently still inside Altiplano prison which means Rodo may be re-arrested for another charge immediately upon his release if the FGR is able to scramble together another charge. 


Tribuna writes that Rodo “who is in the Altiplano prison, could leave in the next few hours.”







The Hearing that Got Him Released


Multiple newspapers, such as Milenio and Tribuna, are reporting that after a 17-hour long hearing, a judge ordered that El Rodo be released because he believed prosecutors presented insufficient evidence to support the two charges against him. 


Those two charges are (1) carrying an illegal firearm, and (2) drug possession charges.

FGR prosecutors argued before the judge that at the break of dawn, on April 21, 2024, Rodo and two others were seen carrying firearms in Autlán, Jalisco. 


Rodo then, reportedly, retreated inside a home in the Hacienda Real subdivision, with National Guard soldiers pursuing after him. 



The soldiers eventually caught up to Rodo and they detained him along with the two other men. The soldiers say that cocaine, fentanyl, and firearms were seized from their possession. 


Rodo’s defense lawyers, however, brought forward nine witnesses who contested this version of events at the hearing. Neighbors and municipal police officers stated that the National Guard soldiers claimedto have been chased away from the place by the National Guard soldiers.”



Tribuna writes that “entire families testified in favor of Abraham [Rodo], stating that he was a victim of abuse, beatings and theft by federal agents during the [arrest] operation.”


These families are likely (in personal opinion of the writer) either being threatened or bribed by members of the CJNG for said testimony. The judge may also be threatened or bribed by CJNG members.



The publication Notigram writes that Rodo’s defense team also presented “the doctor who treated Rodo, who stated that due to his advanced age and a number of chronic degenerative diseases, Rodo is unable to use firearms,” so “the judge ruled that it was implausible [...] was detained in possession of an illegal firearm and he ordered Rodo’s immediate release.”



Note that Rodo is reportedly 70 years old, according to El Financiero


There are plenty of examples of people over 70 years old with chronic illnesses, who not only carried firearms but shot people (such as: this, this, this).



The real question is: how far up the chain of command was the CJNG able to bribe? Will the FGR come up with new charges and immediately rearrest Rodo? Or will they turn their backs as he walks free? 

We are currently waiting for news of what happened during Rodo’s release, which is expected to occur within the next few hours.


There is also a lingering question about why the US has not indicted Rodo for his alleged involvement in CJNG’s fentanyl smuggling. It's unclear if the US requesting Rodo’s extradition would have prevented his immediate release under the terms of the existing extradition agreement between the two countries. 


Milenio journalist Mario Rodríguez reports Rodo’s hearing was initially delayed two hours and it ran throughout the whole night. By the time it ended, 17 hours had elapsed and the judge gave his ruling at dawn.





2:30pm CST


Still no updates on the status of Rodo. All the news outlets are currently repeating that the judge ordered his release and giving no further details on if Rodo has actually left the prison grounds. It’s beginning to feel like confirmation that he was arrested or exited the prison may never come. 



In the meantime, we can take a closer look at the location where Rodo was arrested. On the government’s official detention record, they list out the following address: 


HACIENDA DE IGUALA STREET, NUMBER 22, 

HACIENDA REAL IN RODRIGUEZ ALCAINE,  

AUTLAN DE NAVARRO, JALISCO



The municipality of Autlan sits in the southwestern part of Jalisco. It is in close proximity to the town Villa Purificacion, the location of the infamous 2015 raid which attempted to capture Mencho








6:30pm CST 


The news publications Reforma and Zeta Tijuana are both reporting that the judge who presided over the hearing and ruled that Rodo be released is named Rogelio León Díaz Villarreal.



It’s been far longer than the “couple of hours” that we were told would be needed for Rodo to be released and no news outlets have claimed that Rodo was rearrested, so we’re left to assume that Rodo has walked out of Altiplano as a free man.



8:45 CST


Note that there are very few recent images of CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Mencho”, who is currently 57 years old. 



Because Rodo is Mencho’s full-blooded brother, photos of 70-year old Rodo may, in some way, give us an insight into how Mencho’s facial features will age and maybe even give us a clue as to what Mencho may look like currently.

    1. This mentality is idiocy. 90 Fortune 500 CEOs are over 65. The idea that as we get older then the more we become incompetent is a false sale by us younger people who seek power. Age shouldn't be a factor of insecurity for doing any job. Even in the narco world. If I was a capo at age 70 I'd say you better come take the position by force if you wish to take it from me. It's a lot of work.

    1. Not sure if its been determined if Miguel, Juan, or Marin are involved. But if someone knows more, be sure to comment and let us know.

    2. Marin lives in California and the US government has known so for years; HSI agents visited him in California after the OFAC sanctioned the CJNG businesses that ended up getting Jessica Oseguera 2 years in federal prison (Onze Black, the sushi restaurants, the eco-hotel, etc). As Jessica was arrested as soon as she showed up in the US to appear at Menchito’s hearing, I would guess that Marin would have been sanctioned and arrested long ago if he was involved in CJNG.

      He/she means Mexico, not you Hearst, your doing a great job of keeping us informed. When a judge from Mexico, let's a known cartel criminal free, it's known bribes were made, and even though we don't agree on his release, Mexico, makes it a habit not to disclose the judges name or face, that way the Court system continues to be curupt.

      Delete
    4. I see. Well, the government may not include the judge's name in press releases, sure, but multiple Mexican newspapers have published the judge's name and that's worth commending, I think.

      It's also important to acknowledge that judges are not always bought off by a cartel group. Sometimes a cartel group will threaten to harm the family members of a judge and there simply isn't an effective system in place which protects judges from these kinds of threats.

      The judge may not always be the "bad guy" in the clear-cut way we expect.

  21. The governments story doesn't add up. Look at Abraham's hair. He was probably asleep when he was arrested. No search warrant for the property or arrest warrant for him so they try to pin charges of restricted firearms , cocaine and fentanyl.
    On the "Registro Nacional de Detenciónes" right before it list the address of where the government claims it arrested him it says
    Lugar de detención: Entidad Federativa: Michoacán
    IDK if that was one of the many reasons for the judge to invalidate the claims of the government.
    That old picture maybe from when he was arrested in the USA.
