Overview
- Gendarmería captured Santiago and Juan Cruz Borras in Funes, with a woman also detained in the same operation.
- Federal prosecutors had sought their arrest in the case of a Cessna 210 with a falsified registration that landed in Villa Eloísa with about 321 kilos of cocaine.
- The aircraft carried satellite communication gear, including a Starlink antenna, and two Bolivian crew members identified as the pilot and co‑pilot were detained at the landing site.
- Raids in Roldán, Melincué and Miguel Torres recovered weapons, drug‑packaging equipment, documents and phones that will undergo forensic analysis.
- Prosecutors link the shipment to a structure tied to Brian Bilbao, and the case also notes gunfire, burned vehicles and a gendarme injured during the takedown who is reported out of danger.
