Cristian Fernando “G,” also known as El Guacho, son-in-law of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.
At the time of his arrest in November 2024, El Guacho was living in California under a false identity after faking his death. He is described as a “high-ranking leader of a Mexican cartel” and was charged with “international drug trafficking and money laundering.”
Cristian Fernando was wanted by Mexican authorities on suspicion of kidnapping two members of the Mexican Navy in 2021 to secure the release of El Mencho’s wife, who had been arrested by Mexican authorities, according to an affidavit from a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent.
Federal Judge Beryl Howell, in Washington, D.C., sentenced Gutiérrez Ochoa to 11 years and eight months in federal prison.
Last June, El Guacho pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to one count of conspiracy to conduct financial transactions involving proceeds of unlawful activity, or money laundering.
