Peru Police Arrest Fugitive Sought by Argentina on Interpol Red Notice in Piura

Extradition now hinges on identity checks followed by court review in Bellavista.

Overview

  • Alexis Ayme Alama Núñez, 45, was captured at a home on Calle Castro Silva in Bellavista, Sullana, after a Monday operation reported by multiple outlets.
  • The arrest came through a coordinated sweep by Peru’s national police and Interpol Lima that followed local intelligence work.
  • Argentine authorities seek him for alleged criminal association and repeated fraud, with four counts reported, including one attempted.
  • Officers took him to the Bellavista sector police station, where they are verifying his identity before starting extradition steps.
  • An Interpol red notice asks countries to find and hold a suspect for extradition rather than serving as a global arrest warrant, so any transfer depends on court and diplomatic procedures.
