Shifting Map: Configuration of Criminal Organizations Active in Michoacán

Lucio R. republished from Animal Politico 

Quantity of Criminal Organizations operating in Michoacán Municipalities
                                                        Note: click images to enlarge

By Victor Sanchez (Causa en Común)
The rapid decline that the Knights Templar in the last year and a half, have suffered has left a series of municipalities of Michoacán, without criminal organizational power, which are being filled by other organizations such as the Cartel Jalisco new generation, Los Viagras, la Familia Michoacana, and La Tercera Hermandad ( the third Brotherhood) as well as criminal cell linked to Homero González Rodríguez, alias "El Gallito".

As a result, today there exists a new configuration of the criminal activity in Michoacán.

Until a year and a half ago, Los Caballeros Templaios were the dominant criminal organization in the state of Michoacán , which maintained control of most of the illegal markets in the region and had a permanent presence in at least 81 of the 113 municipalities in the state. 

However, the emergence of autodefensas groups in several municipalities of Michoacán, as well as the implementation of Plan Michoacán (which meant a significant deployment of federal forces in such entity), disrupted the hegemony of C.T. in the region.  In a very short time, federal authorities managed to decimate the sources of income of the criminal organization, minimized its area of influence and have captured or killed the majority of the leaders of that group.

The fact that the area of influence of the Knights Templar has been reduced from 81 to only 17 municipalities (all in the southern part of Michoacán), and the arrest of leader Servando Gómez Martínez, gives us reason to believe that the operational capacity of the criminal organization is coming to an end, because although it is likely that some of the local cells of the organization survive and continue using the name of Caballeros Templarios,  the fact is that this criminal group will no longer be a major player in the criminal map of our country.

See Map below for specific municipalities (from Maps of the World)


[BB Note: Known alliances; Viagras, CJNG.  According to La Tuta, El Gallito also has an alliance with the aforementioned. ]

  3. A paragraph from an ABC News article, "“The Leahy Law is clear and sets a minimum standard. If there is credible information that foreign security forces have committed the worst crimes – such as torture, killings of civilians, rape, or executions of prisoners – then they are not eligible for U.S. aid unless the individuals involved are being appropriately punished," Sen. Leahy said this week."

    1. 12:55 that makes it all the more important to leave no witnesses, proof, or bodies behind, using paramilitary doing the criminal work and burying it in secret graves, and the army in special cases, like Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa, special propaganda detentions like z42, full of procedural "errors" to blame others while the glorious mexican army looks like "they tried" ...

  5. Michoacan is so unique. The fertile ground left by volcanoes is some of the best farmland in Mexico, and it provides everything from avocados and limes to the poppy and marijuana. Their port at Lazaro Cardenas is an important transshipment point for Michoacan's valuable iron ore, while also bringing in cocaine and meth precursors.

    These maps appear real, and what we see is that Los Viagras, CJNG, and the autodefensas control many of the same communities, and these are important for narcotics production and transshipment, as well as the iron ore that sustained the Caballeros Templarios.

      The maps are not specific to control, they are areas of presence, vying for control. Autodefensas have always been strong in the southern half of michocan. But there should be a distinction that shared areas such as LC will have the presence of ad and cartels but not in the ad portion of the municipality. If you recall the controversial shootout of last spring where Dr. Mireles was accused by Castillo of holding "a head as a trophy", ad were protecting only their specific village. So they have a presence, but move 20 miles south and it is infiltrated with a presence of CJNG-CT-Viagras

      the map will be interesting in 6 months as a comparative. I am posting a similar map for Guerrero. Hopefully today.

    1. Many cartel del golfo were from michoacan and they split to make la familia michoacana, el mas loco aka nasario moreno, el chango, el tisico and many more were golfos. Michoacanos go help golfos fight their enemies often. They still have a strong truce, but the question is what faction, because now you have all golfos fighting each other. Los fresas, los metros.... real

  13. I find it very peculiar that the majority of the Mexican armed forces were born in Michoacan. Have the united nations run the show and cartel violence will be reduced. Also install the death penalty.
