Oseguera, known as 'El Mencho' and mastermind of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), died in custody after being injured in a special forces operation on Mexico's Pacific coast in Jalisco state, according to the defense ministry.
"At FIFA Mexico, we are closely monitoring the situation in Jalisco and remain in constant communication with the authorities," a FIFA spokesperson told Reuters.
