Overview
- Police captured Pedro Jesús Aguiar Célis in Tumbes and Jacsell José Mujica Marcano in Lima on Wednesday.
- Coordinated raids across Cusco, Lima, Callao, and Tumbes followed three months of intelligence work and led to at least 16 detentions with guns and phones seized.
- Authorities say Aguiar organized the ring and ordered the killing of Paraguayan national Deysi González in Wanchaq, while Mujica allegedly drove the getaway car.
- Prosecutors describe a scheme that used fake job offers to bring women to Cusco, then forced sex work in nightclubs and collected S/200 to S/250 each week, affecting about 200 women.
- Investigators traced the weekly payments to a leader based in the United States, and they plan a second phase to find the gunman and remaining suspects.
