The Knights Templar cartel formed as from a split in leadership of La Familiar Michoacana, and it left a lasting impression from its short reign. The Knights Templar history is filled with stories of their strict Code of Conduct, drug rehabilitation centers, and graphic violence. It is even alleged that their induction ceremonies included extensive costumes and the eating of hearts.
This Episode provides a historical recap of the Knights Templar and draws some parallels between their ultimate demise and the fall of other cartels.
