Overview
- Undercover and joint police units intercepted and arrested Andrés “Plin” Acosta as he left a San Telmo nightclub, an operation that took place on Monday and involved the PFA’s DFI and provincial police.
- Acosta was moved to Santa Fe on Thursday under a special security blindaje led by the Policía Federal with provincial support so prosecutors can carry out formal interrogation and imputations.
- He faces charges of illegal firearms possession, criminal association and narcomenudeo and is linked by investigators to the organized-crime group known as Los Menores.
- Authorities previously tied Acosta to the case after a June 2025 raid on a residence where assault rifles and a Glock were seized and photos placed him in the Rosario Central stands with alleged barra leaders.
- The arrest is a tactical win for prosecutors but key suspects in the network remain at large, so further operations, interrogations and court steps are expected and could reshape local narcotics and violence dynamics.
