Mexican authorities captured on Thursday four of the 23 fugitives from the Ixtapa prison in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco (west), during a violent day on Sunday following a military operation against the Jalisco Cartel – New Generation (CJNG) that resulted in the death of its leader Rub\u00e9n Nemesio Oseguera, alias El Mencho.<\/p>\n

In a press release, the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection(SSPC<\/a>) informed that after intelligence and investigation work, it managed to arrest four escapees, who on Sunday were part of the 23 inmates who fled after the forced entry of two vehicles to the state penitentiary center.<\/p>\n

The authorities prepared search forms and issued inter-agency and migratory alerts.<\/p>\n

Coordination with state authorities was strengthened.<\/p>\n

This made it possible to track routes, points of interest and possible hiding places for the evaded persons.<\/p>\n

“As a result of these coordinated efforts, in the town of El Colorado, municipality of Puerto Vallarta, four of the evaded persons were located and arrested,” said the agency.<\/p>\n

The fugitives acted in the midst of a violent day with blockades and attacks in different areas of Jalisco and other states, attributed by federal authorities to a criminal reaction after the operation against ‘El Mencho’.<\/p>\n

During her morning conference, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum noted:<\/p>\n

That the federal government is supporting the state authorities for “the re-arrest of these people”.<\/p>\n

The Mexican government has reported that Sunday’s clashes left 25 members of the National Guard and more than 30 members of the CJNG dead.<\/p>\n

Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, 59, was one of the most wanted criminals by Mexican and US authorities.<\/p>\n

With a million-dollar reward for information leading to his capture.<\/p>\n
