The violent aftermath following the death of notorious drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho', has escalated significantly, with reports indicating that violence has erupted nationwide, leading to fears of further chaos as Mexico prepares to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Recent developments reveal that the killing has triggered a wave of violence resulting in over 70 fatalities, and the Mexican government has reported a surge of online disinformation that has amplified cartel violence and spread panic among the populace. Experts warn that the fall of 'El Mencho' could lead to a decentralised cartel structure for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), which may adopt a criminal franchise model that allows it to survive without its leader. This shift could further complicate the already precarious security situation in Mexico, particularly as the cartel adapts its operations using technology such as AI and drones to maintain its influence.
