The U.S. Department of Justice, in coordination with multiple agencies, announced new charges against eight senior leaders of the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), a designated foreign terrorist organization. Over $100 million in rewards is offered for information leading to their arrest or conviction. The indictment names Juan Carlos Valencia González, Audias Flores Silva, Julio César Montero Pinzón, Carlos Andrés Rivera Varela, Hugo Gonzalo Mendoza Gaytán, Ricardo Ruiz Velasco, Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez, and Griselda Margarita Arredondo Pinzón. These actions are part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative to combat narco-terrorist networks. The fugitives face up to two consecutive life prison terms if convicted. Rewards range up to $25 million for Valencia González and $2 million for Arredondo Pinzón. The DOJ emphasized collaboration with international partners to dismantle CJNG’s operations, which include drug trafficking, money laundering, and violent enforcement tactics.
