If you think of it as a single entity, you had better use 'that', but if you consider it as a number of people, 'who' is fine– but you must be consistent: The cartel that controls Colombia marijuana trade has killed five US citizens. The cartel who control Colombia marijuana trade have killed five US citizens.
