This individual is designated as the regional chief of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), since it would be in charge of supplying weapons and vehicles in Puerto Vallarta and the area center Jalisco.

But it is not the first time that in the second destination Mexico tour leader of organized crime is captured, since the brother-in-law of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes , alias el Mencho
, Abigael González Valencia, was arrested in 2015 in Puerto Vallarta.
González Valencia, known as el Cuini, was apprehended on 28 February 2015 based on the provisional arrest warrant co n extradition purposes.
Since then, who is designated as the main financial operator of the CJNG
has been imprisoned in the federal prisons of Gómez Palacio, Durango, the Altiplano, the North Prison and the Penitentiary of Santa Martha Acatitla, in the City from Mexico, while his extradition is awaited.

On the other hand, there are still fugitive leaders operating in the coastal municipality, among them Hugo Gonzalo Mendoza Gaytán, known as el Sapo, who is identified as the plaza boss of the CJNG in Puerto Vallarta.
Mendoza Gaytán has been identified by the federal authorities as a prime target, since he is presumably the second in command of the criminal organization led by el Mencho and could become his successor.
