Argentina and Peru Confront Deadly Attacks as Investigations and Court Measures Accelerate

Authorities are advancing cases with forensic orders and precautionary measures despite procedural hurdles from grieving families.

Overview

  • In Lurigancho–Chosica, Nazareno S.A. driver César Robles was shot multiple times while driving his route, and police are probing possible links to extortion or “cobro de cupos.”
  • In Lima’s Gamarra case, the Hermes armored‑truck driver was freed after 48 hours under comparecencia con restricciones with a S/20,000 bond, as prosecutors named Hermes a third civilly responsible party and moved to secure the vehicle and evidence.
  • In Pataz, relatives removed the bodies of three miners killed in the Papagayo bocamina and blocked transfer for necropsies, hampering forensic work as families demand justice.
  • In Rosario, Argentina, prosecutors opened a homicide case after 26‑year‑old Nicolás Fabián Cortez was shot in the back under a bridge, ordering an autopsy and deploying criminalistics teams.
  • In Guaymallén, Mendoza, Cynthia Romina Landi Rodríguez died after shots were fired from a white car following a dispute involving cuidacoches, with the case under a local prosecutor and police scientific examination.
