| Servando Gomez Martinez, also known as La Tuta, was once among the most-wanted drug kingpins in Mexico |
Servando Gómez Martínez, also known as La Tuta (The Teacher), the former leader of La Familia Michoacana and the Knights Templar Cartel, filed a complaint with a federal judge, alleging that he was subjected to torture and isolation during his imprisonment.
He specifically asserted that he had been subjected to "cruel and inhuman treatment, solitary confinement, segregation, and punishment." He further accused authorities of "refusal to provide food, keeping him in isolation, and subjecting him to torture."
La Tuta is presently incarcerated at the Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1 (Altiplano), Mexico's maximum-security prison.
This is not the first time La Tuta has complained about his prison conditions.
In 2021, he reported having inadequate clothing and shoes, leading him to request permission to bring in underwear, T-shirts, and footwear.
Subsequently, in January 2022, the court granted approval for him to receive psychiatric care and medication. This decision followed the diagnosis of the former criminal leader with anxiety disorder, headaches, and insomnia.
Background
Servando Gomez Martinez was born on February 6, 1966 in Arteaga, Michoacán. He is currently 57 years old.
Before entering drug trafficking he was a rural teacher and farmer, which is why another of his well-known nicknames is 'El Profe' (short for The Professor). Data indicates that in December 2010 he was still on the federal payroll due to his employment as a teacher.
La Tuta served as a leader of La Familia Michoacana, formerly one of the predominant criminal groups in Michoacán. During this time, he collaborated with Nazario Moreno González, also known as El Chayo.
However, following the splintering of this criminal group in 2011, he aligned himself with the emerging Caballeros Templarios (Knights Templar Cartel).
La Tuta was arrested in Morelia on February 27, 2015.
In 2019, he was sentenced to 55 years for kidnapping. In December 2022, he received a 47-year prison sentence for drug trafficking and organized crime involvement.
It is unclear whether La Tuta has a pending extradition warrant. While he does face charges in the US, it is unlikely that US authorities will vigorously pursue his extradition, given that the information he may provide through cooperation is likely outdated or no longer relevant in today's criminal landscape.
A 2009 indictment from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) alleged that La Tuta was responsible for the murder-ambush of 12 Federal Police officers that year and implicated him in drug trafficking activities linked to the US.

Delete5:27 🤣🤣🤣
DeleteA one-eyed man is king among blind men..

1:48 . Having a phone and access to drugs is not living like a king .
DeleteThat’s living like a peasant .

Delete6:19 most men are blind nowadays
DeleteIf you got the money your king in most parts of the world
What’s crazy is I heard they still let him visit his family in his home town a couple times a year I guess $$$ makes the world go round
ReplyDeleteIt’s true because he’s not even locked up to begin with .
DeleteI heard that too but never confirmed
DeleteCon Dinero baila el perro
DeleteAfter being one of the most violent capos of his time… what a joke. Deserves it.
ReplyDeleteRemember Tuta human conditions are for humans! You are not a human so the conditions are perfect for you, just like chapo in Florence
ReplyDeleteI think I've literally seen him k!II 3 people within the last 14 years of watching g0re vids. lmao, he needs comfort.
ReplyDeletela tuta was never in any gore vids dude
DeleteSay what,Tuta killing people on video?
DeleteBro,you have to keep up
Neither Chapo, Mayo, Z40 or Mencho. But we all know that these bastards killed a lot of people. Get real!
DeleteMDZ-BR
Still remember when La Familia was considered extremely violent with all this beheadings and ambushes. Back in 2009-2011 era.
ReplyDeleteBack when they were trained by GAFE Zetas. FM could have been bigger than CDS if they stayed loyal to Golfos/Zetas
DeleteThey were a big threat to other cartels and that why chapo/mayo had their puppet president Calderon go after FM and destabilize them.
DeleteCjng got the blueprint from them because the FM had plans to expand just like cjng did. Mencho played it smoothly though because cds never seen that coming
How were the CJNG so successful with that formula of using extreme / bold violence considering that the Zetas and LFM used it but failed? I’ve always wondered that.
Delete3:59 Money was the key, CJNG has the deepest pockets in the game
DeleteFuck this puto. All those innocent people he killed throughout Michocan during the Knights Templar reign. Fuck this guy. Rest in Piss
ReplyDeletedue to el chayo and el kike. La tuta was a old school narco boss and pretty chill

DeleteI heard a rumor Sir got taken hostage by the Russian Invaders.
See American not that bad after all.
ReplyDeleteAhora aguante la riata
ReplyDeleteSemper fi your uncle toot
ReplyDeleteSimply putrid...every video/pic of Tuti his skin glistened with thick rancid oil that seeped through staining his threadbare shirts...black soot under his fingernails...his brownish orange cud teeth and stale breath...
ReplyDeleteHorses sweat, men perspire and women glow - but Tuti emitted nuclear vapours which the odour practically wafted through the camera. Getting dirty and gritty via farming, portaging etc. is healthy. ButTuti was a boss...he seemed to hang out in the woods all the time so you think he'd jump in a lake or river once in a while with a bar of soap. Pity the woman whose company he kept.

He's just upset because they shut down TV Tuteca and he can't be the star of his own show anymore.

ReplyDeleteLet him suffer, he killed many innocent people and he treated them inhumane.
ReplyDeletepussy,
ReplyDeletenothing more nor less than what he and his thugs do as part of their daily grind.
"alleging ... subjected to torture and isolation during .. imprisonment."
Ahh pero cuando tu y una bola de imbeciles asolaron Michoacan ahi si estaba con madre la población hijo de tu perra madre
ReplyDeletemad because they took his baseball cap.
ReplyDeleteEl Chayo would make Mencho pale with fear if he was alive. What a cartoon like era of narcos that was. They had presence and unspoken impression of evil. This Familia Michoacana had control over a vast region of Michoacán. It is unbelievable to achieve that in a state that could rival the middle eastern Arabs over their hard headedness. Who knows, maybe it is that Arabic blood they left. Who knows what happened to the Plancarte. Around 2010 I was once was very infatuated with a girl who was dating a random Plancarte in a nicer area of Guadalajara. That kid swore his "Tio" was a boss in Michoacán. I laughed in his face. Later on I didn't know what to think
ReplyDeleteThey are making him say, "Please," before they hand him his commissary peanuts. Being polite to commoners is unbecoming of a drug lord of such stature.
