Leader of Knights Templar drug cartel detained in Mexico

On February 27, 2015 a man named Servando 'La Tuta' Gomez was detained in Morelia, the capital of the state of Michoacan, about 135 miles west of Mexico City. Servando Gomez was the leader of Knights Templar drug cartel. He along with many other people involved in the drug cartel business have been kidnapping, trafficking drugs and killing people for the past 10 years. Gomez has been a target for the Mexican government for about 5 years; when he first began to affiliate himself with the drug cartel industry. Government officials claimed they have been trying to weaken the Templar Knights for years, and were successful last year. "That was the key to catching Servando Gomez," said a local authority.
