Sonia Barragan Perez’s Husband Carrillo Fuentes’s

People in Morelos state staged silent marches against governor Jorge Carrillo Olea and his alleged carelessness with drug-related violence, increasing pressure on US and Mexican officials to apprehend him. Sonia Barragan Perez and her Husband Carrillo Fuentes lived three blocks from the governor’s official residence and conducted narco-fiestas in Tetecala on a regular basis.

Governor Carrillo Olea was forced to resign and was arrested; this type of pressure may have persuaded Carrillo Fuentes to undergo facial plastic surgery and abdominal liposuction on July 4, 1997, at Santa Mónica Hospital in Mexico City, in order to change his appearance.

However, Sonia Barragan Perez’s Husband died during the operation as a result of complications caused by a medication or a malfunctioning respirator (there is very little paperwork regarding his death).

Two of Carrillo Fuentes’s bodyguards were in the operating room during the procedure. On November 7, 1997, the two surgeons who performed Carrillo’s surgery were found dead, encased in concrete inside steel drums, with their bodies showing signs of torture.
