Following Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada's arrest, the US offers high rewards for Mexican capos like 'El Mencho' and 'El Alfredillo'. These cartel leaders face serious charges for drug trafficking and violence. The Most Wanted program seeks tips on their locations.
Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada's arrest has spotlighted other Mexican drug lords sought by the United States. Through the Most Wanted program, the US government provides substantial rewards for information leading to their capture, labeling them as extremely dangerous.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho', tops the list with a 15 million dollar reward. As leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), he faces charges for drug trafficking and is among Mexico's most powerful capos.
Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, alias 'El Alfredillo', aged 42, oversees Sinaloa Cartel operations and carries a 10 million dollar bounty. Described with brown eyes and dark skin, he is extraditable for drug trafficking offenses.
Audias Flores Silva, 'El Jardinero', is an alleged CJNG leader closely tied to 'El Mencho'. He oversees methamphetamine labs in Jalisco and Zacatecas, plus aircraft and clandestine airstrips. A 5 million dollar reward is offered for him.
Others include Alfredo Limón Sánchez, 'Poncho Limón' or 'El Chubas', 54, an operator for 'La Mayiza' accused of cocaine trafficking since 2015; and brothers Alfonso and René Arzate García, who manage drug imports including fentanyl in Tijuana, with a record of extreme violence. Both were indicted in 2014 by the US District Court for the Southern District of California.
These criminals have appeared on US blacklists for years, facing charges that encompass illicit drug importation and repressive actions such as kidnappings and executions.
