U.S. Offers $25M Bounty on CJNG Leader | San Francisco News
Description
The U.S. State Department just dropped a $25 million bounty on Juan Carlos González, aka “Pelón,” the alleged leader of Mexico’s most powerful cartel, CJNG — and he’s a U.S. citizen. With his stepfather El Mencho recently eliminated in a U.S.-backed operation, González now runs the cartel that’s officially labeled a foreign terrorist organization and controls everything from avocado shipments to drug trafficking across borders. The U.S. is hitting hard: 50+ people and businesses tied to him are under sanctions, assets frozen, and financial ties cut. This is part of a high-stakes push to force Mexico to crack down — and the pressure’s only going up.
