In the 1970s, her family formed the Milenio Cartel, the predecessor group of the CJNG, and began trafficking narcotics from Mexico to the United States.

According to Mexico's Secretariat of the Interior, González oversaw the CJNG's financial and legal resources, including over 70 businesses affiliated with the criminal group.

[26] In the 2000s, several of González's family members were arrested by security forces, which splintered the Milenio Cartel into two factions, Los Torcidos and La Resistencia.

[30] Los Torcidos was headed by Oseguera and several of González's family members,[31] and they eventually consolidated their influence after defeating La Resistencia.

[34][35] According to Mexico's Secretariat of the Interior (SEGOB), a branch of the federal government, González was responsible for overseeing the CJNG's financial and legal resources.

[39][40] With Abigael behind bars, the government began a crackdown on Los Cuinis, the name of the clan's group, and was successful at arresting or charging several of González's siblings.

[42] According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Justice, and State, Los Cuinis is the financial bloc of the CJNG and is made up of members of González's clan, with Abigael as its main figurehead.

Both the CJNG and Los Cuinis are intertwined through drug trafficking activities, money laundering networks, and familial ties.

[37] Among the businesses they owned included companies in the following industries: healthcare, tourism, hospitality, retail, consulting, agriculture, advertising, real estate, and international trade.

[47] From 8 April 2015 to 12 February 2018, González and her daughter Jessica Johana issued six writs of amparo in courts based in Jalisco and Mexico City to prevent law enforcement from arresting them.

[37] On the evening of 26 May 2018,[52] González was arrested by the Mexican Navy outside a 7-Eleven convenience store in Puerta de Hierro, an upscale neighborhood in Zapopan, Jalisco.

[53][54] She was living in Torre Aura Altitude (es), a luxurious 171.6 m (563 ft) tall residential building,[h] close to where she was arrested.

1 (also known as "Altiplano"), a maximum-security prison in the Almoloya de Juárez, State of Mexico, confirmed that González's first case hearing would be held there the next day, and that she would be transferred from Morelos to attend it.

[70] During the press conference, Navarrete Prida highlighted the fact that the arrest was not conducted in flagrante delicto, but rather was part of an in-depth investigation and had the support of the court.

[75] Navarrete Prida stated that González had an arrest warrant for money laundering and organized crime involvement charges,[36] but that she was not part of Mexico's 122 most-wanted people,[76] a list that was created in the administration of President Enrique Peña Nieto (2012–2018).

[77] Along with González, authorities also confirmed the arrest of Gerardo Botello Rosales ("El Cachas"),[78] a suspected high-ranking member of the CJNG.

[72] Rumors had surfaced earlier that day among the local press that the governor had ordered the activation of the red code alert.

The plaintiff asked the judge to hold the hearing behind closed doors because much of the evidence they were presenting that day against González was also being used against the CJNG in other investigations, and they said they did not want for it to be released to the public.

[87] Her organized crime involvement charge was dropped after the judge did not consider that the evidences presented were strong enough to link her directly with the CJNG.

[38] Her defense tried to discredit this claim, but the judge stated that he was convinced González received illegal funds from the CJNG to purchase and liquidate assets on their behalf.

[98] The case tilted in her favor because a judge considered that González's sentimental ties with Oseguera were not evidence of wrongdoing, and because she was not legally obligated to know the origins of her husband's funds.

[94] On 27 October 2018, her defense issued a writ of amparo asking an appeals court to notify them if the PGR had opened new investigations against her since she was released from prison on bail.

[2][3][100][4] The Mexican Ministry of Defense released a statement which described her arrest as "a significant blow to the financial structure of organized crime in the state.

[42] On 17 December 2023, González received a five year sentence after being convicted for failing to disclose transactions of a car wash she owned in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

[5][6] Her lawyer Victor Francisco Beltran Garcia, a Guadulujara-based attorney who the DEA has described as an associate of the CJNG,[101] contended that the conviction was not related that money laundering allegations she was charged with and planned to appeal the verdict.
