An audio of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes alias El Mencho, who was killed in a recent military operation in Mexico, is going viral on social media platforms. The audio is said to be from 10 years ago, 2016. In this recording he is abusing the security forces. He is openly threatening them and asking them to do whatever he wants them to do. Mencho says that M@th*rFu**er Bi*c* if you people do not listen to me then you will have to face serious consequences. ABP News cannot use related audio.

In the recording, he reprimands a police officer and says that his men should immediately leave the area where his boys work. He claims that he has identified many security personnel and will take action if they do not step back.

Police officer continues to attend to El Mencho

The person on the other end of the audio is a police officer. He replies in a calm voice and assures that the police force will retreat. During conversation, he is responding by saying ‘Yes sir’ and ‘Yes boss’ many times. At the end of the recording, El Mencho reportedly apologizes for the abuses and says the withdrawal of police forces was his order.

It is noteworthy that El Mencho was killed in an operation conducted by the Mexican Army in the Tapalpa area of ​​Jalisco state. He was being taken to Mexico City after being injured during the raid, but he died on the way. This audio clip has not been independently verified, but its reemergence shows collusion between cartels and security agencies in Mexico.
