Lemon Special Forces – CJNG’s New Armed Wing
Numerous videos has been released of a new group of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) called Fuerzas Especiales Limones (FEL) which translates to Lemon Special Forces. Videos of the group began surfacing in September of a new armed wing located in the state of Michoacan, where CJNG has a significant presence. The group is reportedly financed through the extortion of lemon producers in the region. This is a common practice of criminal groups in Mexico who are subsequently able to generate wealth from both illicit and licit industries.
