Episode Details

Mexican forces apprehend top Jalisco New Generation Cartel member, Audias Flores Silva, aka El Jardinero, in Nayarit state. The operation involved multiple aircraft and over one hundred troops. Flores Silva was a prime suspect to take over after the cartels main boss, El Mencho, was taken out. The U.S. had a five million dollar bounty on him and wants him extradited for drug and gun charges. The arrest sparked violence in the area, but security experts say its a significant blow to the cartels leadership. Meanwhile, in Tamaulipas, police arrested another cartel member, Alexander Benavides Flores, from the Gulf Cartels Metros faction, triggering highway blockades around Reynosa.
