The story of love and betrayal of the cousin of "El Mencho" at the origin of Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación

"I had never imagined that this friendship between Osiel, Armando Valencia and me would end in disgrace, the love of a woman eventually separated us".

That's what Carlos Rosales Mendoza, aka "El Tísico", told journalist José Lemus who spent 3 years in the maximum security prison of Puente Grande, in the state of Jalisco, and captured in the book The Damned 2: The Last Hell.

For more than 1000 days, he was detained, Lemus lived with kidnappers, drug traffickers, among other criminals considered very dangerous, He managed to win the trust of some and they told him the true stories of his life.

"El Tísico" is one of those who spoke frankly with the journalist.

Carlos Rosales Mendoza was born on February 12, 1963 in the municipality of La Unión, in the state of Guerrero. He founded the criminal group called "L & # 39; s business", which would then become "Familia Michoacana", from the hand of Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, leader of the Gulf cartel, currently imprisoned in the United States.

Familia Michoacana was the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel and, together with the Zetas, frustrated the operations of the Millennium Cartel., a group that controlled the production and distribution of narcotics in the state in 2000.

But the millennium cartel was formerly known as the Valencian cartel, a criminal structure made up of 18 brothers. At one time, Osiel Cárdenas and Carlos Rosales Mendoza from Valencia were friends and worked together.

However, the lack of love suffered by "El Tísico" by the betrayal of Inés Oseguera, cousin of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho"; finished with this company, This was even the main cause of the break between Los Valencia and the Gulf cartel, which In the end, this resulted in the creation of the most violent criminal organization currently operating in Mexico: the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación.

It all started when "El Mencho" introduced him to his cousin Inés in Rosales. Both fell in love and had a son, this personal relationship has strengthened the commercial relationship between Los Valencia and the Gulf Cartelbecause his cousin, Nemesio Oseguera, began his criminal career with the first.

The conflict escalated after Osiel Cárdenas supported Rosales in his vengeance against Los Valencia for the betrayal of Inés. Cárdenas put at his disposal 300 badbadins of Los Zetas to exterminate the family of Valencia.

"When Agnes went away with that one, I became a wounded demon of love"Rosales told the reporter.

But the Los Valencia cartel did not stand cross-handed and asked for help from the Sinaloa cartel. This approach with the "El Chapo" cartel was carried out by Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel, head of the Jalisco square. And it is precisely this alliance that has strengthened the millennium cartel and allowed it to strengthen its presence in this state.

The betrayal of the cousin of "El Mencho", the lack of love of Rosales and the violent power of the cartels, caused a wave of violence in Jalisco and Michoacán that has not stopped so far.

After the death of Coronel and the arrest of Nava Valencia, a division of the millennium cartel was created in two groups: "The Resistencia" and "Los Torcidos".

Those belonging to "La Resistencia" accused "Los Torcidos" of treason and rendered "El Lobo" authorities to stay on the entire drug market in Jalisco.

The founders of "Los Torcidos" were Erick Valencia, aka "El 85", Martín Arzola Ortega, "EL 53" and Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho"., this split then It would become the most violent and the most dangerous of the country: Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación.
