La Familia is not dissolved, but in retreat says Mexican government: "The Mexican government has denied rumours that the major drug cartel La Familia had dissolved, after mysterious banners appeared in one state, proclaiming the news.
The banners, which state “La Familia is completely dissolved” appeared on Monday on bridges in the western state of Michoacan, the stronghold of the cartel.
The Mexican government has confirmed its security forces did not put up the banners and that they have no evidence the group has dissolved, although it is believed to be “in retreat” since its leader, Nazario Moreno, was killed in a gun battle in December.
Drug war experts have warned the banners may be a ploy by the cartel to divert the attention of the state or security forces in a lead up to a major offensive by the cartel to regain lost ground.
The group is known for brutal beheadings and ambush attacks of police and other security forces."
