Alleged Lima Crime Boss ‘Negro Marín’ Arrested in Spain After Interpol Red Notice

Officials describe the detention as a step toward extradition in a broader crackdown on construction‑extortion networks in Lima and Callao.

Overview

  • Spanish authorities, working with Peru’s national police and Madrid’s cybercrime division with Interpol support, detained Miguel Ángel Marín Morón after weeks of coordinated tracking.
  • The Interior Ministry says Marín faced a Red Notice for organized crime, contract killing, extortion and serious injuries tied to operations in Lima and Callao.
  • He is accused of being a leader within Los Sanguinarios de la Construcción, a group linked to extortion and violence in commercial hubs including Gamarra, Unicachi and Las Malvinas.
  • Peruvian officials report he maintained ties to Adam Lucano Cotrina, alias ‘El Jorobado’, who allegedly directed illicit activity from prison, and was a rival of Erick Moreno Hernández, ‘El Monstruo’.
  • Authorities say he remains in Spanish custody as legal steps proceed toward possible extradition, following an October operation in Peru that raided sites in Comas and Carabayllo and detained 11 suspects.
