Overview

  • A federal control judge in Jalisco bound Óscar Antonio Álvarez González to criminal proceedings after FGR prosecutors with FEMDO laid out organized crime and illicit finance allegations.
  • Álvarez was arrested on September 11 at Mexico City’s airport after arriving from Barcelona in a coordinated operation involving SEDENA, the National Guard, the Navy, SSPC, CNI and the FGR.
  • Investigators say he handled proceeds for Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, and Abraham Oseguera, known as Rodo, using property purchases, tequila and livestock companies, and name changes facilitated by notaries in Jalisco.
  • The case stems from an August 2024 complaint by the Financial Intelligence Unit that flagged unusual transactions and companies tied to Álvarez.
  • Reports indicate he was transferred to the El Salto preventive facility in Jalisco, and separately the FGR is probing a former internal-control chief over an alleged bribe, with an initial hearing deferred to next month.
