OFAC imposed blocking sanctions on 39 individuals (38 Mexican nationals and one dual Mexican-U.S. national) and 16 entities (all in Mexico) under its counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism sanctions programs (E.O. 14059 and E.O. 13224, as amended) for their roles in the leadership, family-based asset-shielding networks, fentanyl and cocaine trafficking, fuel theft, and professional money-laundering operations of the terrorist group Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). The designations target new CJNG leader Juan Carlos Gonzalez ("Pelon"), who assumed control following the February 2026 death of his stepfather and CJNG founder Rubén Oseguera Cervantes ("El Mencho"); the family-based networks of senior members Audias Flores Silva ("Jardinero") and Gerardo Botello Rozalez ("El Cachas"); a Zapopan/Guadalajara-based professional bulk-cash money-laundering cell; and a fentanyl-diversion and fuel-theft ring. Treasury described this as the largest action it has ever taken against CJNG, bringing its total CJNG-linked designations since 2015 to over 250.
