US Raises Reward to $25 Million for Capture of CJNG Leader Juan Carlos Gonzalez
The U.S. government increased the reward for information leading to the capture of Juan Carlos Gonzalez, also known as "Pelon," from $5 million to $25 million. Gonzalez, a dual U.S.-Mexican citizen, is reported to have taken control of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) after the death of its leader, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes. The Trump administration also announced $100 million in total rewards for CJNG leaders, imposed visa restrictions on associates, and aims to weaken the cartel's leadership amid ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and related violence.
