The Familia Michoacana a is a strange mixture of drug traffickers and former vigilantes

The Familia’s brutal tactics, strong base of operations and pseudo-religious ideology make it a formidable operation and a center of fascination for outsiders. The group draws on its strategic location, access to one of the country's most important ports and a sophisticated modus operandi to give authorities fits in several countries. The Familia also understands and uses a perverse and self-serving ideology to keep recruits coming. The Familia Michoacana a is a strange mixture of drug traffickers and former vigilantes that emerged in the early 2000s with the assistance of the Zetas, the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel that has since split and formed its own organization."
