CNN —Mexican authorities have detained the brother of the drug kingpin known as “el Mencho,” a federal source with knowledge of the case told CNN Monday.
His brother, Nemesio Oseguera-Cervantes, is the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador confirmed the arrest early Monday and said the government would provide more information later in the day.
“El Mencho” is wanted by US authorities, who have offered a reward of up to $10 million for information on his whereabouts.
In the past, the Mexican government has labelled the Jalisco New Generation Cartel as one of the most dangerous cartels in the country.
