Rosalinda González Valencia, the wife of CJNG leader “El Mencho” Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, was sentenced to five years in prison. A judge of the Federal Criminal Justice Center in Xochitepec, Morelos, determined that Rosalinda hid financial movements between 2015 and 2016 in a bank account related to a car wash in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
According to Rosalinda’s lawyer, Víctor Francisco Beltrán, she was sentenced for not having proven the legal origin of 75,000 pesos ($4,350 USD) in an account that is in the name of his daughter Jessica Johana Oseguera González.
Her defense has appealed the sentence before a Court of Appeal of Morelos, based on the fact that the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) did not accuse her of intentionally hiding the funds, but only of acquiring and transferring them.
“It was not proven that the lady belongs to an organized crime group. It was not proven that she had operated with resources of illicit origin. It was not proven that she had laundered money and it was not proven that she had manipulated the bank accounts,” said her lawyer.
