In this clip, investigative journalist Kat Szulc describes what she saw after visiting the compound linked to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes following reports of a major operation involving Mexico’s National Guard.
According to official reports, the raid targeted one of the most powerful figures behind the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación. But when Kat arrived at the location in Tapalpa, Jalisco, the scene raised a number of questions. From the physical evidence left behind to the condition of the compound itself, several details didn’t seem to match the narrative being presented publicly.
The discussion also touches on the broader debate surrounding the “kingpin strategy” used by governments to target cartel leaders. Critics argue that while the approach makes headlines, removing cartel bosses can often lead to more fragmentation and violence rather than long-term stability.
Kat explains what she personally observed at the compound, why it appeared suspicious, and why the story surrounding the operation may not be as straightforward as it initially seemed.
