A federal judge granted a provisional suspension of the extradition of Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, “Don Rodo,” after his lawyer filed an injunction.
In addition, the court gave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) and other authorities 48 hours to report whether there is an extradition order or if it has already been served.
With this injunction, “Don Rodo” is resisting extradition to the United States. He is trying to avoid being subjected to the weight of justice in the neighboring country, where he is accused of leading the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
“Don Rodo” released from prison in 2024
Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, known as “Don Rodo,” was released from prison on April 30, 2024, after a judge decided not to prosecute him due to irregularities in his arrest, which occurred in 2023.
A day later, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) announced that it would appeal against the individuals who allegedly helped Oseguera Cervantes secure his release from the maximum-security prison in Almoloya de Juárez.
The FGR argued that the release of “Don Rodo” was yet another example of the partial and inconsistent judgments of judicial authorities, which should not depend on the decision of a single individual but should be strictly guided by the law, as established in Article 19 of the Constitution.
On April 28 of last year, a judge ordered the immediate release of Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, after determining that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him for the crimes he was accused of.
The judge explained that several irregularities had occurred during the detention of “El Mencho’s” brother. Oseguera was first captured on April 21, 2023, by the Armed Forces in the municipality of Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco.
What is “Don Rodo” accused of?
According to information from the Sedena (National Security Forces), Abraham Oseguera belonged to the CJNG (CJNG), where he allegedly held a key position as a logistics and financial operator, and as a perpetrator of violence.
Authorities also accused him of participating in money laundering, drug trafficking, and drug dealing in Jalisco, where he was arrested.
