Alleged Mastermind 'Pequeño J' Captured in Peru in Florencio Varela Triple Femicide Case

Extradition to Argentina is being arranged under a 48-hour secrecy order imposed by prosecutors.

Overview

  • Peruvian anti-drug police and Buenos Aires detectives used phone tracking to locate Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano in Pucusana after detaining his alleged lieutenant Matías Agustín Ozorio in Lima.
  • Authorities now count nine detainees in the case, including the house's occupants, two people found cleaning blood, a driver, a grave digger, and a relative tied to a support vehicle recovered in Quilmes.
  • Extradition proceedings are underway to bring Valverde Victoriano and Ozorio before prosecutor Adrián Arribas on aggravated triple-homicide charges with gender-violence aggravators.
  • Arribas ordered 48 hours of secrecy over the probe, and forensic analysis of phones seized from the first seven detainees is scheduled for Friday to map communications and movements.
  • Investigators say the killings were planned as a narco message linked to the tusi trade and were streamed live before the victims were buried at a Florencio Varela home.
