A video posted on social media shows seven hooded men with long weapons, alleged members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), who launched threats against the journalist Azucena Uresti and the Milenio newspaper.
However, the Twitter account that released the video, states that the message is also directed to “Milenio, El Universal, Televisa and other sold media support the false information presenting Cartels Unidos de Michoacán as self-defense groups in the war against the CJNG”.
The man who reads these threats seated and on a table, does so in the name of Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Mencho” and current operator of the CJNG.
“I, representative of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel, am writing directly to news Milenio. I am not against freedom of expression, but I am against whoever shoots me directly. They are taking money from the self-defense groups, who call themselves El abuelo, Las Viagras and Hipólito Mora, who are drug traffickers who hide behind self-defense T-shirts, ”he says by way of introduction.
“I do not think that the government does not realize that they are not self-defense groups because of the type of weapons they bring and because they send me to make monsters that cost around 100,000 dollars, a price that is incompetent for any self-defense ”, he continued.
“Being that they are drug traffickers, well, if that is what you can call them, because they are ‘charging fees’ since they do not adjust what they get from drug trafficking to cover their expenses, and you Millennials they are receiving money from those ‘collect fees’, kidnappers and extortionists. The only thing I say is that they are even and do not lean to one side. Do not carry you with problems that do not correspond to you, because I have never hit any newscast, because they have never shot me directly ”, was one of the first threats.
Immediately afterwards they also made some threats against journalist Azucena Uresti, who is part of the nightly programming bar on the news of Millennium Television.
“I do know how to work, I am a trafficker with great pride and my place has cost me, I have not earned it at anyone’s expense, and the public knows that they count on me; because I’m from Michoacan, but I’m not ordinary like that ball of blots like El Abuelo, Hipólito Mora, and Los Viagras. Here there is intelligence, eggs and money, my respects for all the newscasts that enforce freedom of expression. I only tell you one thing: do not protect your news as Milenio does with its news, which protects Abuelo, Hipólito Mora and Los Viagras, saying that they are self-defense groups., being that the Grandfather and his son killed two girls and did not bother to bring that news to the public light, “they continued with their speech.
Finally, he reiterated to the media that “be even because I am not against freedom of expression. Here at your order Mr. Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, his friend for those who want me as a friend ”.
Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, identified as the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and known as The Mencho, became the second most wanted man in Mexico and the United States, after Rafael Caro Quintero.
