The Mexican authorities have just uncovered an illegal activity that seems to have been going on for years. A Mexican crime syndicate called the Knights Templar has managed to slip illegal iron ore mining operations, giant truck convoys, ship loading facilities and large bulk carriers right under the noses of the authorities and to smuggle the ore to the Chinese. The shipments go through Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico's second largest port.
By a fortunate twist of events, the authorities were able to stumble upon this operation. Firm action is contemplated.
