Mexican Navy special forces apprehended senior Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader Audias Flores Silva, alias 'El Jardinero,' in Nayarit without a single shot being fired. The suspect was found hiding in a ditch during the operation. The US State Department had placed a $5 million bounty on him for drug trafficking and violence.
