Mexico City — Investigations have uncovered a staggering “narconómina” — or drug cartel payroll — linked to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantesmexican cartel leader"], known as El Mencho, head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The findings suggest that millions of pesos were allegedly funneled as bribes to members of the Guardia Nacional and elements of the Mexican military.
According to the report, the payroll documents detail systematic payments designed to secure protection, logistical support, and intelligence that enabled cartel operations to continue with minimal interference from law enforcement. Analysts describe the revelations as one of the most significant pieces of evidence showing the financial entanglement between organized crime and state security forces.
While authorities have not yet confirmed all the names involved, the leaked narconómina indicates a complex network of influence extending across multiple regions in Mexico, highlighting the challenges of dismantling criminal operations that benefit from collusion with public officials.
Security experts note that such financial arrangements exacerbate the difficulty of combating cartels, as they blur the lines between criminal and governmental actors. “When corruption infiltrates enforcement agencies, it undermines public trust and operational effectiveness,” said one analyst familiar with the investigation.
The revelations have sparked public outrage and renewed calls for greater oversight of the Guardia Nacional and the military. Investigators are reportedly examining the flow of funds, connections to local authorities, and possible criminal liability for implicated personnel.
The emergence of this narconómina underscores the deep financial and institutional reach of Mexico’s most powerful criminal organizations, raising urgent questions about accountability, transparency, and the integrity of security forces tasked with curbing organized crime.
