“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
A video has been disseminated online for Mexican and American authorities from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
The 12 man team of armed enforcers stand in silence as their spokesman narrates before the camera the message that best fits an image specifically aimed for.
That appearance is one of a cartel that doesn’t dabble in the trafficking of fentanyl.
Video translation is as follows:
Hello, good morning or good afternoon to all citizens and to all those from abroad. By this communiqué I want to let you know that I have not sent any drugs to the United States.
Much less set up laboratories or sent fentanyl. I have forbidden fentanyl within my enterprise. Your country is full of drugs. And I don’t think you need ours. I have a lot of respect for those who handle fentanyl.
On my end, I’m not sending that poison to the United States. I don’t send it to any other part of the world either. My cartel is the most respectful, strongest, and powerful.
I only ask the Mexican and American authorities to look around and see that everyone wants to pass themselves off as CJNG. Today, it’s the strongest and most powerful cartel. Yours truly, CJNG
