A high-ranking Mexican cartel member who faked his own death to “live a life of luxury” in southern California has been arrested and charged with drug trafficking and money laundering, the Justice Department said.
Cristian Fernando Gutierrez-Ochoa, 37, was arrested on Nov. 19 in Riverside, California. He is the son-in-law of Nemesio Oseguera-Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel.
