Argentina Triple Femicide Probe Advances as Spain Investigates Suspected Gender Killing in Seville

Cross-border policing comes to the fore, highlighting protection gaps exposed by both cases.

Overview

  • Argentine prosecutors move to question Ariel Giménez and Víctor Lázaro Sotacuro, who were detained over the weekend and indicted for aggravated concealment in the Florencio Varela case.
  • Sotacuro was arrested in Villazón, Bolivia, transferred to Buenos Aires on Sunday night and lodged in a federal prison by court order after coordination with Bolivian authorities.
  • An Interpol red notice issued on September 27 targets Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, alias “Pequeño J”, who remains at large as investigators describe the killings as narco‑style torture and mutilation.
  • Spanish police are probing the fatal stabbing of a 28-year-old woman in Sevilla Este as a suspected gender‑based homicide, with her 21-year-old partner hospitalized under police custody after an apparent suicide attempt.
  • Authorities in Seville confirm the victim had an open VioGén record for earlier incidents but no active protection measures, prompting renewed calls for vigilance and reporting.
