the sinaloa cartel
the jalisco new generation cartel (, "cjng", "los mata zetas" and "los torcidos") is a mexican criminal group based in jalisco and headed by nemesio oseguera cervantes ("el mencho"), one of mexico's most-wanted drug lords. jalisco new generation cartel started as one of splits of milenio cartel the other being la resistencia. la resistencia accused cjng of giving up oscar valencia (el lobo) to the authorities and called them los torcidos (the twisted ones). jalisco cartel defeated la resistencia and took control of millenio cartel's smuggling networks. jalisco new generation cartel expanded its operation network from coast to coast in only six months, making it one of the criminal groups with the greatest operating capacity in mexico as of 2012. through online videos, the jalisco new generation cartel has tried to seek society's approval and tacit consent from the mexican government to confront los zetas by posing as a "righteous" and "nationalistic" group. such claims have stoked fears that mexico, just like colombia a generation before, may be witnessing the rise of paramilitary drug gangs. by 2018 the cjng was hyped as the most powerful cartel in mexico, though insight crime has stated that the sinaloa cartel is still in fact the most powerful cartel and that the cjng was now its closest rival. in 2019, the group was greatly weakened by infighting, arrests of senior operatives, and a war with the sinaloa cartel and its allies,
