Morelia, Michoacán.- Yordín Axel Oseguera Villa, identified by the authorities as one of the leaders of the criminal group called Los Viagras, which operates in the Tierra Caliente region of Michoacán, and nephew of Nemesio Oseguera, leader of the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación, was born on November 1, 1999 in the community of Pinzándaro, municipality of Buenavista, son of Adrián Mendoza Oseguera and Nora Elia Villa Patricio.

According to intelligence reports, based on research and the young man's own statements, for 12 years, the parents of ''El Yordin'' have been separated and he has not seen his father in years, whom he, "Yordin" says  he only knows that he  works for the New Jalisco Cartel Generation, CJNG,  an criminal organization led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias ''El Mencho'', whom ''El Yordin'' claims is his uncle.

The delinquent of 19 years age was arrested during the operations implemented during last Tuesday and Wednesday. He studied only until the fifth grade of primary school; At age eight he met Nicolás Sierra Santana, current founding leader of the Los Viagras group, a character whom he admired and who later asked him to join his criminal association, but due to his young age "'El Gordo Viagra'' rejected his participation.

At the age of 14, his friend known as ''El Coyul'', who worked as a gunman and assassin, recommended him to Nicolás Sierra Santana, who finally agreed to hire him also as a gunman and hit man to guard the Plaza de Pinzándaro; for the performance of that work, ''El Yordin'' received a .38 super caliber firearm and began to earn 3,000 pesos a week.

A year after joining the ranks of crime, ''El Yordin'' was trained by a person who held the position of Lieutenant Colonel, who showed him techniques of use and handling of weapons, planning of ambushes, shooting practices and handling of explosive devices, although he admits, he does not like the use of grenades because on one occasion he exploded a device that caused injury to his face.

Once the criminal training was completed, Yordin Oseguera was appointed to be in charge of a position in Antúnez, municipality of Parácuaro, a promotion for which his salary increased to 5,000 pesos per week. Recently, just four months ago, "El Yordin" of Los Viagras was designated as cell manager, and he was assigned 3 people under his command.

The head of the PGJE, José Martín Godoy Castro said that in recent days, the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security initiated an operational action in the municipality of Buenavista, as part of the strategy to locate and arrest criminal targets , action that provoked the reactions of the criminal group "Los Viagras", through roadblocks, damage to and burning of  private vehicles and attacks on commercial establishments, events that occurred during the last two days.

The prosecutor of Michoacán explained that until tonight, as a result of the operations, 18 people were arrested, mostly because of their presumed relationship with vandalism. Among the detainees, said Godoy Castro, is Yordin Axel Oseguera Villa, 18 years old, alias "El Yordy" or "El Yordin", whose participation with "Los Viagras" has been proven; crimes of aggravated murder of two people, committed when he was still a minor.

"El Jordy", affirmed the prosecutor, is probably the nephew of the leader of the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación, Nemesio Oseguera.

"There are indications, gathered from the ministerial declaration of the detainee, that identify Jordyn Axel as nephew of Nemesio Oseguera, alias" El Mencho ", designated as leader of a criminal group that operates in the state of Jalisco. 

This subject was already placed at the disposal of the competent authorities for drug trafficking and possession of firearms, and must also respond for the killings where he allegedly participated and in other unlawful acts that are the subject of investigation, "said Martín Godoy Castro.

In addition to the arrests, homemade artifacts, gas cylinders, firearms and useful cartridges were insured, and eight vehicles with a theft report were recovered that were located in the community of Cupuán del Río, municipality of La Huacana.

Unofficial information indicates that "El Yordin" was transferred by helicopter to the delegation of the Attorney General's Office . The police authorities see the criminal as an individual very close to the Sierra Santana family, which heads "Los Viagra" cartel .

They are a local cartel based in the Buenavista municipality, northeast of Michoacán . At different times he made alliances with other criminal cells such as the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación, La Familia Michoacana, Los H3 and Los Caballeros Templarios.

They are led by the Sierra Santana family and the leader is Nicolás Sierra Santana, the oldest brother of 10. The name is a joke among them as one of the younger brothers used gel excessively in their hair to get combed with spikes.  ("Sierra" spikes, one can only assume)

"The Viagras" are designated to control the business of the narco laboratories of the Tierra Caliente zone . They also transport the mentafetamine out of the state. Recently they made an alliance with the "El H3" to defend the area of ​​drug traffic that the Cartel of Jalisco Nueva Generación disputes.
