Los Viagras: De Autodefensas a Imperio Criminal en Michoacán

In today's special edition of Pie de Nota, we analyze the history of Los Viagras, one of the most influential and controversial criminal groups in Michoacán. Originally emerging as part of the self-defense groups in the Tierra Caliente region, this group quickly evolved into a criminal organization with a strong territorial presence, involved in disputes, alliances, and operations within organized crime. Throughout this report, we explore its origins linked to the fragmentation of cartels like La Familia Michoacana and Los Caballeros Templarios, as well as its transformation into one of the main forces in the struggle for control of the region against rival organizations like the CJNG. We also analyze its structure, its leaders, and the impact it has had on security, the local economy, and daily life in Michoacán. A serious, well-documented, and necessary analysis to understand how a group that emerged under the banner of self-defense ended up becoming part of the complex map of organized crime in Mexico.
