Valdovinos Mendoza

Known as the 'Señor de los Caballos', Valdovinos Mendoza is identified as a key figure in the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) operating in Chiapas, Mexico. His notoriety stems from a failed attempt by authorities to capture him in October 2025, an event that led to significant disturbances along the Guatemala-Mexico border. Mendoza is recognized for his affinity for fine horses and has controversially described drug trafficking as an 'elegant' profession.
