Carlos Alberto Rosales Mendoza (born 12 February 1963) is a former Mexican drug lord who founded and led an organized crime syndicate called La Familia Michoacana. He was a close friend and associate of Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, the former leader of the Gulf Cartel. When Rosales Mendoza founded the first cells of La Familia Michoacana in the 1980s, the Milenio Cartel was competing with the organization for the control of the production and distribution of narcotics in the state of Michoacán.〔〔 In 2000, Rosales Mendoza united with the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas to thwart the Milenio Cartel, causing a wave of violence in western Mexico that lasted until the year 2003.〔 He was arrested by the Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales (GAFE) special forces squadron on 24 October 2004.〔 ==Criminal career== Rosales Mendoza was born on 12 February 1963 in the municipality of La Unión, Guerrero in southern Mexico. Reports suggest that Rosales Mendoza's organization can be traced back to the 1980s〔 and that was possibly a vigilante group to counter corruption and local crime, but the organization eventually became involved in the production and distribution of narcotics throughout the Mexican state of Michoacán.〔 In the year 2000, Rosales Mendoza broke relations with Armando Valencia Cornelio of the Milenio Cartel and founded his own organization in Michoacan called ''La Empresa'' ('The Business'), a criminal organization that was the direct predecessor of La Familia Michoacana, some sources state that ''La Empresa'' and ''La Familia Michoacana'' are essentially the same thing, mainly because they share the same members but not the same allies.〔http://www.oem.com.mx/laprensa/notas/n2118720.htm〕 He also formed an alliance with Osiel Cárdenas Guillén, then leader of the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, and merged with his organization. This alliance was intended to displace the Milenio Cartel from Michoacán state, and provoked a series of assassinations in area until the 2003. With the alliance Rosales Mendoza became a Gulf Cartel operator and Cárdenas Guillén dispatched two lieutenants of Los Zetas, Efraín Teodoro Torres (''Z-14'') and Gustavo González Castro (''The Erotic One''), to help him to train his men and protect the drug trafficking corridors in Guerrero and in the port city of Lázaro Cárdenas. He soon gained the trust of Cárdenas Guillén and became one of the leading lieutenants for the Gulf Cartel in western Mexico, where he commanded a training camp and taught over 50 gunmen military tactics and how to carry out prisons breaks to free Cárdenas Guillén, who had been captured and imprisoned in 2003. After Rosales' arrest in 2004, Nazario Moreno González seized control of the gang and in 2006 〔http://www.laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId=14091&ArticleId=339066〕 severed ties with the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas in an effort to take control of Michoacán from any external influences, marking the birth of an independent La Familia Cartel and Starting a turf war against their former allies.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlos Rosales Mendoza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
