Borja's background
The brother of the former leader of Ciudadanos had already come to light due to his links with far-right movements. A member of the Ultra Sur, Borja was sentenced to six months in prison for attacking a 21-year-old boy in Moncloa in 2004. The young man left a pub in the district accompanied by four girls and was chased by several ultras, including Villacís's brother, who caught up with him on Hernani Street, where they insulted him and beat him, apparently for no other reason than the ingestion of alcohol. alcohol, since there was no provocation or discussion. The four detainees had in their possession two brass knuckles, a pair of scissors and a knife with a sheath. In addition, inside the vehicle the agents also found a multipurpose knife with a sheath, pamphlets and stickers with “ultra-Southern Nazi” symbols. At that time, Villacís' brother already had a police record for crimes of injuries, damages and public disorder. He was convicted of attacking two men in the same year who defended a girl to whom he used racist insults in the Santiago Bernabéu Metro.
Currently, Villacís was being investigated for drug trafficking and money laundering in a case that Central Court number 5 of the National Court has been investigating for six years. According to Civil Guard sources, the deceased was part of one of the most important drug clans in Spain, now dismantled. Specifically, this is a case resulting from the operation called Águila-Frazen against several organizations dedicated to drug trafficking, including that of Antonio Menéndez, alias Niño Skin, a neo-Nazi who would have served as the leader of Ultra Sur.
