MALE ANCHOR: In the United States tomorrow, one of the sons-in-law of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel, will plead guilty to money laundering, as confirmed to Milenio. Sources close to the case confirmed that he is Cristian Ochoa, alias El Guacho, who in 2021 kidnapped two members of the Mexican Navy in Zapopan, Jalisco. This is the work of Ángel Hernández. 

ANGEL HERNANDEZ DIAZ: This Friday, Cristian Fernando Gutiérrez Ochoa, alias El Guacho, operator of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel, will plead guilty to conspiring to launder money in the Federal Court of Washington, DC. Sources close to the case confirmed that Gutiérrez is a major drug trafficker and the son-in-law of the absolute leader of the criminal organization, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, since he is the partner of his daughter, Laisha Oseguera González. Pleading guilty, the prosecution will dismiss the other charge against him: conspiring to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine to the United States. The agreement, according to the source, would not imply collaboration between Gutiérrez and U.S. authorities, and the maximum sentence he could face is 30 years in prison. 

In addition, the government will confiscate the luxurious residence where he was arrested in November 2024 in Riverside, California. The $2,250,000 seized at the property included valuables such as watches and jewelry, and three vehicles: a BMW M4, a Mini Countryman, and a GMC Yukon Denali in Mexico. Gutiérrez Ochoa and Laisha Oseguera were accused by the Navy of being behind the kidnapping of a cadet and a second teacher in Zapopan, Jalisco, in November 2021. Fortunately, five days later, both were found unharmed on a highway. The Marines are presumed to have been kidnapped in retaliation for the arrest of Rosalinda González. Rosalinda Valencia, wife of El Mencho and mother of Laisha, who stopped going to sign for precautionary measures at the unit as part of her money laundering case, according to Washington. From 2015 until 2024, Guacho was part of the cartel's cocaine and methamphetamine trafficking operations and laundered the profits. Guacho was arrested in the United States thanks to an Interpol file with his photograph. He went there to hide after the kidnapping of the two marines. He acquired residency through the tequila company Pasión Azul, a front company for the Jalisco cartel. He used a false identity and also wanted to protect himself by spreading the word among the cartel that his father-in-law had killed him for lying to him. 

Lara discovered that in Mexico there is an arrest warrant against Guacho for organized crime and kidnapping, so once he completes his sentence in the United States, he could be deported to face another trial. The woman claims that Laisha was also in Los Angeles and owned a cafe near the Riverside home. Laisha is considered a fugitive from justice and, according to the prosecutor's office, in addition to her Mexican citizenship, holds U.S. citizenship. Ángel Hernández, a former U.S. citizen, claims to be a fugitive from justice.

LA JEFA 

Rosalinda González Valencia, alias "La Jefa", wife of the leader of the New Generation Cartel (CNG), Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho", was released early tonight, after serving more than half of the five-year prison sentence imposed on her at the end of 2023, for the crime of money laundering, her defense reported.

It was a Collegiate Court that rejected the challenge that the Attorney General's Office filed against the sentence that Judge Perla Fabiola Estrada Ayala, of the Federal Criminal Justice Center, residing in Cuernavaca, issued last January in favor of González Valencia, considering that the Michoacan woman had good conduct and had served 69% of her sentence, for which she determined to set her free.

González Valencia left the Federal Center for Social Readaptation for Women in Coatlán del Río, Morelos, accompanied by her lawyer.

González Valencia, arrested for the second time in November 2021, must appear once a month before the Precautionary Measures Supervision Unit, prove to the judge the address where she will reside and the work she will do.

In December 2023, Rosalinda González Valencia was sentenced by a federal judge to five years in prison for her responsibility in the crime of money laundering, in the form of concealment.

According to the sentence, between 2015 and 2016 the Michoacan woman hid operations in a bank account linked to a car wash she had in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

In November 2021, “El Mencho’s” wife was re-arrested for failing to comply with the obligation to sign the book of defendants for two months, for which she was imprisoned in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation (Cefereso) for women located in the municipality of Coatlán del Río, Morelos.

Elements of the Navy arrested her for the first time in 2018, during an operation in the municipality of Zapopan.

The FGR places her as the sister of the financial operators of the criminal group called “Los Cuinis”, founded by Abimael González Valencia, arrested in 2016 in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
