Late cartel leader seen as local saviour but Mexican government considered him a ruthless criminal.

When one of the founders of the La Familia drugs cartel was killed in 2010, the Mexican government hailed it as a major victory.
Yet many locals say the cartel leader who protected them, Nazario Moreno, lives on in spirit.
In Morelia, in the state of Michoacan, the legend of the so-called St Nazario continues.
