U.S. Offers $25M Reward for CJNG Leader | Dallas News
Description
The State Department just doubled down with a $25 million bounty on Juan Carlos González, aka “Pelón,” the alleged leader of Mexico’s most powerful cartel, CJNG—now officially designated a foreign terrorist organization. This massive reward, up from $5 million, signals a top-down assault on the cartel’s hierarchy, especially after the death of former boss “El Mencho” triggered a surge in violence. González, a dual U.S.-Mexican citizen born in California, reportedly controls everything from avocado farms to global drug trafficking. The U.S. is also hitting CJNG with sanctions on 50+ individuals and businesses, freezing assets and targeting financial operations—including a fuel theft ring generating tens of millions annually. This coordinated push shows Washington’s unwavering commitment to dismantling CJNG from the inside out.
