Mexican authorities have arrested a suspected drug trafficker who played a key role in the operation that led to the death of drug lord Nemesio Oseguera last month, the Defense Ministry announced Sunday.

Oseguera, known by the nickname "El Mencho", led the Jalisco Cartel (CJNG) and was fatally wounded during an operation by elite Mexican troops on February 22, after being seen with a woman at a golf club in Jalisco.

Mexican authorities have arrested Jose N, known by the nickname "El Pepe," who was responsible for transporting Oseguera's partner to a luxury cabin in the municipality of Tapalpa, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Military intelligence services managed to track down Oseguera after discovering his meeting, authorities said after the operation.

Mexican Defense Secretary General Ricardo Trevilla had previously stated that the exact location was confirmed by "very important additional information" provided by US intelligence.

“El Pepe” was considered one of the main logistical operators of the CJNG and was arrested in the municipality of Tlajomulco in Jalisco.

"Drugs, weapons and a vehicle were seized from him," the Ministry of Defense statement said.

Oseguera was the most wanted person in Mexico and was also wanted by the United States, which had placed a $15 million reward for his capture.

He was “ a priority for the DEA and for federal law enforcement in the US ,” a DEA agent said in 2019.

After his death, CJNG members blocked roads in 20 of Mexico's 32 states and burned vehicles and businesses, including in Guadalajara and the tourist resort of Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco.

Over 70 people, including 25 Mexican National Guard troops, were killed during the operation to capture Oseguera and subsequent clashes between security forces and CJNG gunmen.

Earlier this month, Oseguera was buried in a golden coffin, with large wreaths of flowers and under a large military presence.
