Dionisio Loya Plancarte, "El Tio", one of the leaders of the Knights Templar Cartel, is plotting to use Mental Health problems, in an attempt to be set free from Federal Maximum Security prison where he is currently incarcerated, since January 2014.
Paradoxically, the alleged drug trafficker identified by the Federal Government as the financial brain of the criminal organisation, has said through his defenders that he has psychological problems.
On the 10th of April, Loya Plancarte promoted an amparo indirectly before the Judge of the Second District in matters of Amparo and Federal Trials in the State of Mexico based in that State on case 518/2015.
In the observations of the Trial of Guarantees, it was received for incompetence of a Judge of the Seventh District in Michoacan, an authority before that he had already intended to obtain the protection of Federal Justice.
El Tio is complaining of " lack of medical attention from psychologists and that he need to attend a mental health clinic".
As well as " the lack of supply of a medic that he needs for said problems, and to assign a medic inside the prison to care for him".
The amparo was admitted as a formality and an order raised by the authorities to carry out psychiatric examination of Plancarte to determine if his argument is true.
Consultants and Functionaries of the Cabinet for National Security accused the supposed leader of the Templarios of " looking for a strategy that will declare him demented, with the intention of him not being declared competent to be condemned for his crimes.
The alleged Capo was detained on 27th of January of 2014 by Federal Authorities in Morelia, Michoacan.
Loya Plancarte, was hiding in a closet when he was detained during an operation carried out at 05:30 am, without a single shot fired, informed Monte Alejandro Rubidio, then Secretary of the National System of Public Security.
The Attorney General of the Republic offered a reward of up to 30 million pesos for his capture, following the accord A/123/09, he was sought for being a member of a criminal organisation and crimes against health ( narco trafficking ).
According to the Federal Government, he was the financial brain of La Familia and later the Knights Templar, and responsible for press and public relations for the organisation , well it was presumed that he was in contact with the authorities of Public Security and Prosecutor of Justice.
This man, according to authorities, intended to follow the strategy of Nazario Moreno "El Chayo" or "El Mas Loco", top boss of the criminal organisation who started a media campaign against the authorities during the presidency of Felipe Calderon who said that he was dead, until he was killed during a confrontation with this administration.
