Overview
- Buenos Aires provincial police closed in on Fabián Jesús Bravo in the Martín Fierro neighborhood using two officers dressed as clowns tied to a nearby circus.
- Officers detained his partner, Joana Giménez, as she tried to flee and then arrested Bravo inside the home.
- Both are in custody on counts of aggravated homicide and aggravated threats with a firearm under San Martín’s UFI No. 7 led by prosecutor Alejandra Maico.
- The sting followed an early‑April arrest of Bravo’s nephew that turned up a defaced 9mm Glock, ammunition, cash, a cellphone and packaged drugs.
- Investigators say Bravo ran a hierarchical crew that rotated through short‑term rentals in Moreno and General Rodríguez and used hard‑to‑trace digital platforms, and they expect the capture to weaken the group’s hold on the area.
