The Nueva Plaza Cartel (Spanish: Cártel Nueva Plaza) is a Mexican criminal organization from the state of Jalisco. The group began as a split from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, having an important presence in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, having been previously commanded by Carlos Enrique Sánchez Martínez, "El Cholo," Emilio Alejandro Pulido Saldaña, "El Tiburón," and Érick Valencia Salazar "El 85". El Cholo would be killed in 2021, with "El Tiburón" surrendering himself to Mexican authorities soon afterwards. El 85 would be arrested in 2022.
