I find it unreliable and unbelievable that the order to kill me came from Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes 'El Mencho', says Ciro Gomez Leyva

Also yesterday there was an extensive interview with Joaquín, who has been extremely generous with his interviews. I've interviewed Manuel five or six times on his show in these two and a half years, and there's always a very emotional tone in these interviews. He asked me how I felt. I told him, well, with the desire to continue living. And he also asked me what I thought about these people saying that the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel was the mastermind behind the attack. 

They already have two sentences. These two people had received five other sentences, but they were women. They were only found responsible for having associated, protected, or collaborated in some way with the so-called execution cell. Now we have two sentences for these people, the hitmen, and so, Manuel, I can now begin to speak as a journalist because I do know. I've studied in depth what they said, and I have compared it with the versions of each of them, eh? I produced a work, I think it will be published. eh? Soon, then, it's a topic that has taken me a year and a half to study, and I want to share my first opinion today. I'm doing it in Excelsior, the column that I published there about whether it was the Jalisco cartel. No, what do I think of what they say about it being the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel that was behind my attack, Manuel? Mm, it's the text. I don't know if you wanted us to read it, and I don't know if you think we'll do it now or a little later. I'll read it. I can put it there on the screen to see it in larger print.

That, Ciro, is precisely called the Jalisco cartel, between interrogations. And I mention the sentences handed down on Tuesday to two of the members of the so-called execution cell that tried to kill me. In December 2022, they allowed me to open the information. Both testified since April 2024 before the Public Prosecutor's Office that whoever hired them, Armando Escarceaga, the boss, even told them that the order to execute me came directly from Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho," historical leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. 

Pedro Gómez Jaramillo declared that he coordinated with the boss to send Bart and two other hitmen to a cartel camp in Ciudad Guzmán, Jalisco, so they could perfect their weapons handling. El bart essentially declared the same thing. That's all. I've thoroughly studied their statements. Can I perhaps advance that there won't be much more to the cartel from the other five defendants who have requested a summary trial and will possibly receive a sentence in the coming days. 

The boss's statement, which I also know is a separate matter. The time will come to open the boss's statement and develop it. For now, as a reporter on the matter, and in the absence of compelling facts, I find the version that the order to kill me came from El Mencho, even if it happened since Tuesday. I'm speaking there. Yes, Manuel, strictly as I have been in this case, also a reporter who has the information but, because he is a victim, cannot disseminate it. That's correct, Ciro. But well, there it is. The text remains, the testimony remains, and the approach remains, which will surely be enriched, because after we learn about the boss, for example. Right, let's pause.
