Why did a Mexican drug cartel kill two Israeli criminals?

According to sources, the two Israelis were murdered by the CJNG as a result of a failed money-laundering operation.

According to the investigation, Vanessa, aka “La Güera,” was in charge of the financial operations of the CJNG leader, Nemesio Oseguera. The woman coordinated a meeting between the Israeli criminals in order to make the transactions.

Although it is now known what went wrong with the money laundering operation, “La Güera” orchestrated the murder along with “El Viejón.”
