Juan Carlos Sierra Santana, leader of Los Viagras shot dead in confrontation

Translated by Otis B Fly-Wheel for Borderland Beat from a Proceso article

Subject Matter: Los Viagras, Michoacan
Recommendation: See link to article by Chivis on Juan Carlos Sierra Santana


Reporter: Francisco J Castellanos
Juan Carlos Sierra Santana, La Sopa, one of the seven brothers that heads the criminal organization Los Viagras ( Otis: also see Fuerzas Rurales Michoacan), lead by El Gordo Santana, was taken down Sunday afternoon during a confrontation with antagonistic groups in the limits of this town and Buenavista, informed sources from the SSP and the Army.

La Sopa was killed by wounds sustained by bullets. The confrontation was reported by the authorities, but the local Police did not intervene. At the site of the confrontation hundreds of rounds, rifle magazines, rifles, 40 mm grenades and tactical equipment was confiscated.





As a result of this incident, elements of the Army and the Michoacan Police carried out extra patrols and vigilance in the zone, indicated an official communication from the Secretary of Public Security.

In relation to this incident, the State dependency gave out a press release:

"Elements of Sedena (the Army) and the SSP confiscated hundreds of rounds of ammunition, rigle magazines and tactical equipment in this town, and maintained vigilance patrols in the region to guarantee the security of the villagers.

"After initiating an operation to verify that there had been a confrontation between armed civilians in the community of Pena Colorada, uniformed officers localized and confiscated 200 plus round of ammunition in .308 calibre, 7.62 x 39 mm and .223."

"Also 32 rifle magazines, 12 x 40mm grenades, a 40mm grenade launcher, which were put at the disposition of the competent authorities."

"Previous versions of these events had resulted in the wounding of an alleged criminal leader,, the surrounding hospitals have been searched for suspects but the results have been negative."

"Tne Secretary of Public Security are in coordination with local authorities both State and Federal to maintain a vigil in all of the Tierra Caliente region to assure the security of the local population."

The history of Los Viagras goes back to when the Sierra Santana brothers were in high school and because of the way they combed their hair with it sticking straight up, their class mates called them Viagra.

Some time later, because of their fondness for cock fighting, several of the Sierra Santana brothers flocked to the Palenques and their rivals said " Here come Los Viagras".

    3. @1:10 The reporters have nothing to do with whether the comments get posted. They see them same time you do - when they are published.

  4. Thanks otis for the post! I am not able to contribute at this time but checked in to see if this story is up.

    I sent you an email asking if you are still interested in becoming administrator....email me.

    About this screen shot...

    Readers will remember it was screenshot that came from the video that also depicted Americano in the background with with Carlos.

    It was my screenshot and post about the meeting that went viral and had Americano in the deep sea of explanation. He was brought in by Michoacan State pgr and "questioned" surprisingly Americano claimed "it ain't me" and pgr said their intelligence performed forensic studies on the image and determined it wasn't him, yet they never published said evidence and never questioned Carlos as to who the Americano look alike was....because it was in fact Americano.

    It was the eagle eye of BB reader Pepe of Michoacan who caught the image in a video.

    As for the Viagras:

    they were the only splintered group of Templarios. They were in fact working with Mencho in conjunction with Americano who headed the fake autodefensa group "H3" named H3 as the third grouup formed another long story

    Viagaras was founded by the sierra santana brothers 7 of them and sisters, headed by El Viagra Mariano, and Carlos.

    Tuta was the last to know of their alliance to mencho. he was under the impression they were allied with him.

    Americano went on to become the greatest producer of meth in Mich, (for mencho) and viagras the enforcers and kidnappers. it was them who abducted American Harry Devert under the direction of mencho and transported him to Gro where he was killed and ultimately discovered after an anonymous phone call to authorities. It is my determination that it was done so because of the relentless and very public search and advocacy efforts of Harry's mother Ann. the search created great pressure on fed authorities and a greater presence in the state.

    4. ps: gordo never led the vigras but may take a leader role, or possibly sister betty or brother Valentin. it was led by carlos and mariano. mariano was quietly obscure, and carlos for the most part also in hiding. Gordo came under light scrutiny by the feds but he professed his non alliance with the viagras. Mariano was arrested in 2015

    2. I am sure la puta tuta still collects his paycheck from la chaky, political leader secretary of the Teachers Union, and has a leave to tend to personal business.
      The IMSS Doctors Union got busted real quick after they formed, in the late 60's by diaz ordaz, then they busted the electricians, the oil workers, the farmers alliances get busted every year, the railroad workers got facked up since the 40s, every year until gone too.
      The 9nly powerful union now is the teachers' and the one of the politicians and the legislators. Police and soldiers have no unions unless you count their special temporary alliances with cartel leaders...
      --This comes from me thinking that Dr Mireles could have his IMSS Doctors' Union support but there is none.

    1. @11:21 Buggs made that decision when he started the blog. I think it was because he wanted it to be an open and independent blog free from outside influences and have reporters who posted stories because they cared about Mexico, not because they were getting paid to do it. Although he is not an active participant most of the time, he still bears whatever costs are involved in keeping it going. We all owe him a debt of gratitude.

      And Borderland Beat has done pretty well for itself for almost 10 years now.

    2. Yes you guys have . Recently began reading a few months back and love the stories . But most of all are the feedbacks from readers. Where common interests for the love of Mexico and American interests are taken into consideration for solutions to the problems both countries face.

      Nevertheless besides my Washington post, New York Times, Borderland Beat has kept me informed with its reporting . Don't expect me to cancel my subscription any time soon.
      Oh ! That's right you guys free!
      Keep up the good informative articles.

  13. Question is? Will it make a difference? Someone's already there to fill his shoes.
    Never ends despite the comfort of one of these individuals dead . Mayhem and Mexico are hand in hand. A failed state that it is.

  15. i didnt see a body count and was wondering. since this was a big fight and police reported it but didn't get involved.

    i was wondering at big fights like this do the cartels take the bodys away to hide and kidnap wounded enemies for fun back at the farm?

  17. The guy simple got pulled over because of the tinted windows. It is against the law to drive with tinted windows in Baja California unless the vehicle glass is tinted by the manufacturer. (not plastic tint)The guy didn't know the law while in baja. Not sure if it's the same rule in Sinaloa.
