Overview

• Peruvian anti-drug police, working with Buenos Aires detectives, arrested Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano in Pucusana and detained his alleged lieutenant Matías Ozorio in Lima, bringing the total to nine suspects in custody.
• Investigators say they tracked the fugitives through intercepted phones and location data, aided by information and a handset provided by Valverde’s partner.
• According to police, Ozorio’s phone was used to set up a meeting that drew Valverde into a trap, and officers caught him while he hid beneath a cargo truck on the Panamericana Sur.
• Extradition proceedings to Argentina are underway, and fiscal Adrián Arribas ordered 48 hours of secrecy as forensic analyses of seized cellphones are scheduled.
• Authorities are still seeking two men tied to the white Chevrolet Tracker that moved the victims, while prosecutors pursue aggravated homicide charges in a narco-style killing that investigators believe was broadcast to a closed social-media group.
