A $25 Million Gamble: The Latest Salvo in America's Cartel War The United States government has increased its reward to $25 million for information leading to the capture of Juan Carlos González, also known as "Pelón," the new leader of Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
This move is part of a broader strategy aimed at weakening CJNG's leadership and disrupting its operations.
The increase from $5 million reflects Washington's growing frustration with Mexico's inability to crack down on CJNG.
