The discovery of a grenade launcher inscribed in memory of Nazario Moreno links the historical and current criminal factions of La Familia Michoacana. Moreno was instrumental in establishing the group that is now resurging in power, alongside new iterations led by Ubaldo Hurtado's sons. Recent indictments in the U.S. against Johnny and Jose Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga reveal their involvement in significant drug trafficking operations, underscoring the group's evolution into a formidable entity against rivals like the Sinaloa and CJNG cartels.
The inscription on the grenade launcher connects the legacy of La Familia Michoacana's origins with its current operations, illustrating the evolution of criminal power in Mexico.
Authorities emphasized the significance of the weapon's inscription linking Ubaldo Hurtado's children to the modern-day La Familia Michoacana's resurgence in organized crime.
