From Reuters: Mexico has released Abraham Oseguera, the brother of Mexican drug lord Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), the security ministry said on Tuesday.
Oseguera, also known as "Don Rodo", was detained on April 21 by army soldiers working with the National Guard police in Autlan de Navarro, Jalisco, in what officials touted as a major blow to organized crime.
Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodriguez said at the president's regular press conference that Judge Rogelio Leon had "surprisingly" ordered the release of Oseguera arguing that there were no legal grounds to charge or keep him in prison.
