World
— 8h
Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, brother of slain Jalisco New Generation Cartel co-founder El Mencho, was sentenced in Washington to 22 years and six months in prison after pleading guilty to drug-trafficking and firearms offenses. The sentence was shorter than prosecutors’ 30-year request; the judge cited his age and health in imposing a term above the 20 years sought by his defense.
