Alianza Lima Confirms Two Player Exits as Mexico Announces Major ‘Los Blancos de Troya’ Arrests

Attention shifts to Zambrano’s contract resolution plus federal probes of possible political collusion.

Overview

  • Alianza Lima officially terminated the contracts of Sergio Peña and Miguel Trauco after a sexual‑violence complaint became public, with investigations continuing and the players denying the allegation.
  • Carlos Zambrano remains separated as club leadership has decided not to keep him, though talks with his camp have yet to produce a contract rescission, and a video showed him training privately.
  • Mexico’s Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch said seven principal operators of the extortion group ‘Los Blancos de Troya’ were detained, describing the cell’s use of heavy weapons, drones and improvised explosives.
  • Harfuch linked the dismantled cell to extortion of lime and avocado producers and cited an alleged connection to the killing of citrus leader Bernardo Bravo Manríquez.
  • Morelos’s public security chief said FEMDO/FGR is investigating at least five municipal presidents for possible collusion with criminal groups, and Uruapan’s mayor met Harfuch to request a political line be pursued in her husband’s murder case, with no investigative line ruled out.
