His son, Ruben (El Menchito) Oseguera Gonzales, 30, was extradited to the United States last month to face narcotics and racketeering charges. His daughter Jessica (La Negra) Oseguera Gonzales was arrested on five counts of a drug trafficking conspiracy last week in Washington D.C. while trying to visit her younger brother in jail. Federal authorities allege the 33-year old La Negra was giving financial support to a series of legitimate businesses in Mexico, including a pair of sushi restaurants and a tequila company, that her father’s organization uses to funnel drug proceeds through. The DEA estimates that at least one-third of the cocaine, heroin and meth flowing into the U.S. stem from El Mencho’s purview. El Mencho, 53, is the founder and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (alternatively known as “CJNW” or just “New Generation”). He spent his formative criminal years in Northern California.
