US EditionMexican Agent Who Survived Cartel Attack That Downed His Helicopter Murdered
- Former Mexican federal agent Iván Morales and his wife were murdered on April 30, 2025, in Temixco by cartel gunmen who fired 15 shots at their vehicle.
- The attack follows Morales' involvement in a secret 2015 operation targeting Jalisco Cartel leader Nemesio 'El Mencho' Oseguera Cervantes, whose son ordered the helicopter downing that Morales survived.
- Morales survived with severe injuries from the cartel's use of heavy weapons like a Browning M2, Barrett M82, and RPG-7 rocket on 18-board personnel during the May 1, 2015 mission near Villa Purificación.
- Morales testified as a witness in the U.S. Federal case that sentenced Rubén Oseguera González, 'El Menchito,' to life imprisonment and ordered forfeiture of over $6 billion in March 2023.
- His murder highlights concerns about inadequate protection for witnesses against organized crime amid the cartel's growing influence and ongoing international trials.
