La Familia Michoacana, (English: ''The Michoacán Family'') La Familia (English: ''The Family''), or LFM was a Mexican drug cartel and an organized crime syndicate based in the Mexican state of Michoacán.〔(La Familia Michoacana Fact Sheet ) DEA〕 Formerly allied to the Gulf Cartel—as part of Los Zetas〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=La Familia, un cartel que se volvió un Estado paralelo )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=En el imperio de La Familia Michoacana )〕—it split off in 2006.〔 The cartel was founded by Carlos Rosales Mendoza a close associate of Osiel Cárdenas. The second leader, Nazario Moreno González, known as ''El Más Loco'' (English: ''The Craziest One''), preached his organization's divine right to eliminate enemies. He carried a "bible" of his own sayings and insisted that his army of traffickers and hitmen avoid using the narcotics they sell. Nazario Moreno's partners were José de Jesús Méndez Vargas, Servando Gómez Martínez and Enrique Plancarte Solís, each of whom has a bounty of $2 million for his capture, and were contesting the control of the organization. In July 2009 and November 2010, La Familia Michoacana offered to retreat and even disband their cartel, "with the condition that both the Federal Government, and State and Federal Police commit to safeguarding the security of the state of Michoacán." However, President Felipe Calderón's government refused to strike a deal with the cartel and rejected their calls for dialogue. According to federal and state sources, La Familia Michoacana has been increasingly involved in Michoacán's politics, impelling their favorite candidates, financing their campaigns, and forcing other parties to renounce their candidacies. La Familia Michoacana still exists today, despite the killing of its founder and leader Nazario Moreno González,.〔〔〔〔(N.A )〕 It is present mostly in el Estado de Mexico.〔 ==History== Mexican analysts believe that La Familia formed in the 1980s with the stated purpose of bringing order to Michoacán, emphasizing help and protection for the poor. In its initial incarnation, La Familia formed as a group of vigilantes, spurred to power to counter interloping kidnappers and drug dealers, who were their stated enemies.〔 Since then, La Familia has capitalized on its reputation, building its myth, power and reach to transition into a criminal gang itself. La Familia came to the foreground in the 1990s as the Gulf Cartel's paramilitary group, designed to seize control of the illegal drug trade in Michoacán state from rival drug cartels. While it initially trained with Los Zetas, in 2006 the group splintered off into an independent drug trafficking operation. La Familia has a strong rivalry with both Los Zetas and the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel, but strong ties with the Sinaloa Cartel of Joaquin Guzman. La Familia Michoacana was one of the strongest and fastest growing cartels in Mexico.〔(Mexico Arrests Important Familia Michoacana Boss. ) 2009 'Latin American Herald Tribune'.〕 After the death of Nazario Moreno González, José de Jesús Méndez Vargas (''El Chango Méndez'') took control of the cartel.〔 However, his authority was disputed by the cartel co-founders Enrique Plancarte Solís and Servando Gómez Martínez (''La Tuta''),〔()〕 who formed an offshoot of La Familia calling itself Caballeros Templarios (Knights Templar).〔〔〔 Méndez Vargas was captured on June 21, 2011 by Mexican police in the state of Aguascalientes. The Mexican Federal Police declared that the cartel has been disbanded.〔〔 However, the organization continues to exercise its power and influence throughout Michoacán and Guerrero states. 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「La Familia Michoacana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
