In his collaboration with Luis Cárdenas for the First Broadcast of MVS Noticias, Óscar Balderas , a journalist specializing in organized crime, spoke about the Italian mafia , the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel ( CJNG ) and cocaine.

In his capsule presented this Wednesday, the reporter said that this story begins with a man who has a double life , who by day is an employee at the Port of Gioia Tauro in Italy and by night is a member of the 'Ndrangheta.

He was in charge of altering the X-ray detectors when drug ships arrived at the Calabrian port. However, the Italian Financial Guard stopped him.

In all this matter, Mexico was involved , since, according to information obtained by Óscar Balderas for MVS Noticias , among the containers there was a “strange stamp” with the silhouette of a rooster.

That symbol represents the "Lord of the Roosters" , that is, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes , so they were shipments from the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel.

Despite this, this criminal organization is not the main objective of the United States government , which, through the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), offers a reward of 10 million dollars in exchange for information leading to the capture of " Los Chapitos " , of the Sinaloa Cartel.

“What is interesting is how the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel has displaced historical groups such as the Sinaloa Cartel,” the journalist commented. "There is already a report that they are the darlings of 'Ndrangheta, the Italian mafia."

The foregoing has a direct impact on Mexico, where three days ago there was a confrontation in Jalisco. There a sophisticated drone used by organized crime was observed.

"(It was seen) a drone that is directing bombs, is dropping bombs on civilians, but it was also doing it with a kind of infrared that allowed us to know how many people were in the vehicle, we had not seen that," said the head of Nación Criminal .

The cause of this situation, according to Balderas, is that "they are in millionaire businesses that control the planet's drugs and when you control the drugs, you control the weapons."

Óscar Balderas concluded in this regard that the CJNG "has not worried about getting into the fentanyl business ," which is why the United States "is hard and hard against the Sinaloa Cartel."
