¿Quién protegía al Mencho?

Who protected the Mencho? And how did the army do it to get to him? Nemesio Segueras Cervantes el Mencho, the founder and leader of the Jalisco Cartel, was one of the most wanted men in the world for years. And for years he was hiding. According to research, the Mencho had basically three levels of protection. The first was a huge network of hawks that were positioned in strategic communities and municipalities in Jalisco. The hawks are vigilant, usually young people with radios, and their job is to observe and warn if they see something.

The hawk networks that kept the hawk in different parts of the state reported to him if there was an operation or a mobilization. Another level of protection was their pacts with local authorities. It seems that police and municipal authorities protected him, and warned him in case the government planned to carry out an operation against him. It is estimated that federal authorities had him located at least 20 times, but that all those times he found out and escaped before they caught him.

And the other level, if everything else failed, was a security circle formed by elite hitmen. They were very high-level escorts who accompanied him everywhere and had specialized training and high-caliber weapons. The Mencho was constantly moving, all the time he was changing his location. He went from one security house and from one region to another. He kept a very low profile, he did not appear in the media and less in public events. He was very careful with his communication.

Well, the Secretary of National Defense, Ricardo Trevilla, said that last Friday they managed to locate a man who was close to a woman who was a sentimental couple of the Mencho. They started following that man. On Saturday, he took that woman to a building located in the municipality of Tapalpa, Jalisco. They realized that in that building, that woman met with the man. She left the next day, but the man stayed there. So they started planning an operation to stop him. In the early hours of Saturday and Sunday morning, they were able to confirm that the man was still in that building. So they launched the operation.

Special groups of the Army and the National Guard surrounded the building. They had air support helicopters and planes. A shooting was launched between the military and the Mencho's security team. The Mencho and some of his escorts escaped and went into a forest area that was next to it. The military followed them, they found them in that forested area and another shooting broke out.

Almencho and two of his escorts were seriously injured. They were taken on a helicopter to be transferred to a hospital, but the three died on the way. One of the most dangerous and powerful criminals in the world died. It was a tense and complicated day, but it was also a historic day for the army and the security forces of this country.
