Ten Mexican cartel gunmen were sentenced to 141 years each in prison Tuesday for murder and kidnapping, the public prosecutor's office said, in a case that shocked the country.

The men were arrested last September at a ranch authorities say was used as a forced recruitment center for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of the country's most powerful criminal gangs.
