Mexican drug lord ‘El Mencho’ buried in golden coffin
Mexican drug lord known as ‘El Mencho’ was buried in a golden coffin in a lavish funeral ceremony in Guadalajara, Mexico. El Mencho, whose real name is Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, was the leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and one of the most wanted criminals by both Mexican and U.S. authorities.
The funeral, attended by a select group of family and cartel members, took place on Friday, October 15th, in a cemetery in Guadalajara. The golden coffin, adorned with intricate designs and jewels, was carried by armed men wearing military-style clothing.
Authorities have expressed concern over the ostentatious display, fearing it could glorify organized crime and send the wrong message to the public. However, supporters of El Mencho argue that the lavish burial was a way to honor his memory and highlight his importance within the cartel.
