The Body of ‘El Mencho’ Arrives in Mexico City: This is How Nemesio Oseguera Was Transferred to the FEMDO
A heavy security operation oversaw the arrival of ‘El Mencho’s’ remains at the FEMDO on Paseo de la Reforma.
The remains of Nemesio Oseguera ‘El Mencho,’ leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), were transferred to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO) in Mexico City, hours after he was wounded during an operation in Tapalpa and after dying on the flight to Mexico City.
A convoy of National Guard trucks escorted the ambulance carrying the remains of Oseguera Cervantes ‘El Mencho,’ after he was killed by federal forces, to the Prosecutor’s Office located in the Guerrero neighborhood, between Violeta, Mina, and Reforma streets, on the afternoon of Sunday, February 22.
After arriving at Mexico City International Airport (AICM), authorities completed the transfer to the FEMDO, awaiting the corresponding forensic work and information on what will happen to the drug trafficker’s body once his identity is confirmed.

Heavily escorted, the body of El Mencho arrived in Mexico City, like a funeral procession amidst weapons and sirens, on his final journey.
The city stopped to watch a convoy of heavily armed National Guard troops.
They watched as it escorted a forensic ambulance from the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), traveling from Mexico City Airport to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime. It was no ordinary transfer: inside lay the body of the man who for years had been synonymous with power and violence, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho.”
Wounded in the mountains of Tapalpa, his fate hung in the balance. He died en route, and with him, the voice of Mexico’s most wanted drug lord was silenced. But his downfall brought no calm: vehicles burned on the highways, businesses were set ablaze in the cities, and fear spread like smoke that knows no borders.
The convoy advanced like a state funeral procession, guarding not just a body, but the symbol of an era marked by blood and fire. The image was one of fear and brutality: the death of Mexico’s most powerful criminal leader transformed into a security spectacle, a closing ritual, a national drama.
El Mencho is gone.
But his shadow still stalks the streets, in every burned barricade, in every business reduced to ashes, in every intrigued glance that asks: what will come after the fall of the last great kingpin?
