The United States Department of the Treasury has designated eight women who are laundering money for the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación (CJNG).
The González Valencia sisters who appear as operators in the drug trafficking network led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, ''El Mencho '', are: Rosalinda (or Rosalía), Noemí, Berenice, Marisa Ivette, María Elena, Érika and Abigaíl; as well as his half sister Estela Valencia Farías.
In addition to money laundering, women have a leading role in the most dangerous criminal organization, since according to the United States, they are responsible for the transfer of drugs from Mexico to that country.
Rosalinda González Valencia belongs to a family originally from Aguililla, Michoacán, and is known as "La Jefa" within the New Generation Jalisco Cartel (CJNG). She is "Mencho's" wife.
She, Rosalinda, the wife of ''El Mencho'' and the person in charge of money laundering for the Jalisco Cartel New Generation.
Rosalinda, was released on September 6 after spending almost four months in prison for being the administrator of the resources of the CJNG. Reports from the authorities consider women as ''La Jefa'' ; but they also mention that their daughter Jessica Johana Oseguera González , serves as the operator of the criminal group. The heiress of "El Mencho" protected herself to avoid being arrested as happened to be her mother. ( Above photo from the night of Rosalinda's arrest )
Reports from federal authorities have identified that the 16 brothers who make up that family are the founders of that criminal organization. In total there are six men and six women, the leader of them is Rosalinda .
Among the brothers are Édgar, Arnulfo, Elvis, Mauricio, Ulises, Gerardo, Luis Ángel and José. In addition to María Elena, Érika, Berenice, Marisa Ivette and Noemí, these last ones indicated by the Department of the Treasure of the United States as responsible in the transfer of drugs to that country.
In 1996, Rosalinda Gonzalez Valencia married the man who would become the strong man of the New Generation Cartel Jalisco, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes , "El Mencho" considered by the Treasury Department as a "fugitive" from the US authorities since April 2015. The couple's children are Jessica Johanna and Rubén Oseguera González.
Rubén, "El Menchito" , was arrested in January 2014 in Zapopan, Jalisco, in possession of 25 million pesos and firearms. In that year he was released twice: the first in October, after the intervention of a judge, who determined his freedom from the federal prison located in the Altiplano, in the absence of evidence against him. After his recapture and shipment to the Cereso de Puente Grande, he was released in December of that year.
The trial of guarantees was registered under file number 38/2018 before the Sixth Unitary Court of the Third Circuit.
The daughter , ie Jessica Johanna , of "El Mencho" is accused of the crimes of organized crime and operations with resources of illicit origin. Jessica was born in Michoacán and is in the cross hairs of authorities in Mexico and the United States as she owns a series of companies allegedly used to launder the profits of the cartel.
In 2015, the US Treasury Department placed its restaurant Mizu Sushi Lounge and its Tequila brand Onze Black on the blacklist of businesses suspected of having a relationship with drug trafficking.
Oseguera González tried to defend herself against any order of apprehension, summons, presentation, appearance and reaprehension that could be issued by any of the criminal judges in the state.
The business side of Jessica also extended to the tourism sector with a tourist complex of five rest houses in the municipality of Tapalpa, Jalisco, named Las Flores Cabañas.
Jessica, appears in the organization chart of the CJNG and is now one of the new objectives of the governments of Mexico and the US.
Another woman who was a factor for the creation of the CJNG is Inés Oseguera, who had an affair with Carlos Rosales, alias ''El Tísico'' , one of the founders of La Familia Michoacana and operator of Osiel Cárdenas Guillén in Michoacán. The affair had dire consequences.
"El Tísico" and Inés Oseguera's romance with the cousin of "El Mencho" managed to seal a union between the Gulf and the Millennium cartels, but apparently the young woman cheated on her boyfriend with Armando Valencia , which provoked the violent war that ended with the exile of the González Valencia .
Osiel Cárdenas supported Rosales and put at his disposal a legion of hitmen from Los Zetas to shoot down the Valencia family, who in turn made a pact with the Sinaloa Cartel. And it was just this approach that empowered the Millennium Cartel, and gave rise to the CJNG.
