La Negra, Daughter of Jalisco Cartel Boss El Mencho, Gets 2 1/2 Years in Prison for Violation of Kingpin Act

El Mecho's daughter, La Negra, is set to serve two years and six months under the charge of a rare criminal case involving the Kingpin Act, according to a U.S. judge's order.

Jessica Johanna Oseguera Gonzales, also known as La Negra, had urged Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell to free her after more than 15 months in jail so she could return to her five-year-old daughter and older daughter at their family home in Mexico, according to a USA Today report.

Prosecutors had fought for four years and three months prison sentence for La Negra, saying that the Jalisco cartel boss' daughter has lied about the degree of her involvement with her father's, Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, operations.

La Negra will be credited with time served. The judge had also ordered her to remain on supervised release for two years after she finishes her prison sentence.

She was also ordered to pay a fine of $20,500, according to court records.

Prosecutors had fought for at least $25,000 and up to $5 million, saying that she had access to assets.

La Negra read a statement expressing remorse and saying that her time in prison had been an opportunity to reflect on her mistakes. She added that for more than a year she had been alone 23 hours a day, according to a Mexico News Daily report.

Prosecutor Brett Reynolds argued that the accused had lied before about earlier illegal activities. He added that El Mencho had put her daughter in charge of running Las Flores Cabanas, which is a luxury spa in Jalisco.

Meanwhile, La Negra said that she had not seen her father since she was 11-years-old.

The court chose the two and a half years sentence, noting La Negra's lack of prior convictions and that she had shown remorse for her actions.

Jalisco Cartel

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel was reported to be targeting and killing police officers at their homes in Guanajuato, Mexico, according to a Business Insider report.

The area is considered to be the most violent state and most dangerous for police.

The cartel had earlier abducted several members of an elite police force in the area and tortured them to get the names and addresses of other officers.

The Jalisco cartel members are now showing up at the officers' homes on their days off and murdering them in front of their families, according to reports.

In 2021, at least seven officers have been killed during their days off.

Jalisco cartel is considered Mexico's most powerful and violent criminal organization. It declared war on the elite police force Tactical Group after claiming that it has treated its members unfairly.

A Jalisco cartel banner was found hanging on a building in the state, stating that if they want war, the cartel will give them war.

The banner also warned that for every Jalisco cartel member that the police force arrest, they will be killing two members of the Tactical Group.
