Overview
- A coordinated operation by Peru's National Police and Buenos Aires police used phone tracking and controlled communications to detain Matías Agustín Ozorio in Lima and intercept 'Pequeño J' hiding in a truck near Pucusana.
- The captures raise the number of detainees to nine across the alleged network, while two men linked to the white Chevrolet Tracker used to transport the victims are still being sought.
- Prosecutor Adrián Arribas ordered forensic examinations of seized cell phones and is advancing aggravated homicide charges with a gender‑based aggravator.
- Both suspects were under Interpol alerts as investigators traced movements from Argentina through Bolivia to Peru using signal triangulation and evidence seized in prior raids.
- Security officials in Buenos Aires said a premature social media post by Minister Patricia Bullrich risked the operation that ultimately led to the arrest of the suspected ringleader.
