Major Cartel Leader "El Conejo" Apprehended in Jalisco

Mexican authorities announced the arrest of Alfredo "El Conejo," a key figure in the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), in a major operation in Magdalena, Jalisco. The arrest, which involved the coordinated efforts of the Mexican Army, Navy, National Guard, and the Attorney General's Office, marks a significant blow against the powerful drug cartel. "This arrest is a testament to the ongoing commitment to combating organized crime in Mexico," stated a spokesperson for the Attorney General's Office, though they declined to comment further on ongoing investigations. El Conejo, whose real name is withheld for legal reasons, was wanted for numerous crimes, including extortion, drug trafficking, and homicide. His arrest follows months of intelligence gathering and surveillance by the security forces. The operation resulted in the seizure of weapons, cocaine, and thousands of methamphetamine doses. The arrest of El Conejo is expected to disrupt the CJNG's operations in the region and send a message to other cartel members. The success of this operation offers a glimmer of hope in the ongoing battle against drug cartels in Mexico.
