The Attorney General's Office (FGR) obtained a conviction of up to 20 years against three former members of the Knights Templar, who operated south of Morelia, the capital of Michoacán.
These subjects were arrested in 2011 and after extensive judicial proceedings, they now know the penalty they will have to serve for organized crime, hypotheses of committing crimes against health. I mean, drug trafficking.
Gilberto Soto Muñoz, the Penguin; Nazario Mendoza and/or Nazario Escalante Calapia, the Cowboy; and Juan García Sánchez, the Wolf, fell into possession of firearms and marijuana, but were not charged with specific crimes for having these illicit resources in their possession.
According to the federal authorities' report, the Penguin and the Cowboy were sentenced to 20 years behind bars, so they will be released in 2031. However, the Wolf would be released next year, since the sentence against him was 12 years and six months.
The Knights Templar have reportedly exercised their rule from Tacámbaro, San Juan Yoricostio, Puruarán, Ario de Rosales and Villa Madero. It has now been diminished, but it still maintains remnants in alliance with other local cells.
