Overview
- Detectives from DDI La Matanza detained Mayra Solorzano, 37, at a Gregorio de Laferrere hair salon after an undercover surveillance operation with officers posing as customers.
- Investigators say Solorzano acted as the liaison and operational head who selected targets, assigned roles, and monitored the robberies from outside.
- Phone forensics tied a Buenos Aires provincial police lieutenant, Blas Osvaldo Camacho, to the gang as an informant who relayed real-time patrol and 911 information before his April 2024 arrest.
- The case began in January 2024 with 16 raids that led to four arrests and the seizure of vehicles, phones, and other evidence used to map the group’s movements and communications.
- Prosecutors handling the case under Guarantees Court No. 3 and the Institutional Gravity Unit accuse the group of eight aggravated robberies, illicit association, and illegal weapons possession, including an attack that targeted a relative of federal prosecutor Sergio Mola, and Solorzano remains in custody pending questioning.
