Overview
- The coordinated Policía Nacional and Ministerio Público operation, which took place on Friday, May 29, executed simultaneous raids across Lima and Callao and produced preliminary detentions.
- Official counts differ as police reported seven arrests while the Fiscalía Especializada contra la Criminalidad Organizada of Callao secured judicial preliminary detentions for five suspects identified by name.
- Investigators seized phones, six vehicles, cash, bank cards, notebooks, more than one kilogram of marijuana and other documents with an estimated value near one million soles for use in forensic and financial analysis.
- A separate PNP intervention removed four adolescents linked to the gang ‘Los Calacos: Nueva Generación’ and recovered firearms and drugs while one minor is being probed for a March homicide in the Alan García settlement.
- Prosecutors say the group ran a ‘gota a gota’ scheme of informal high‑interest loans that evolved into extortion and asset seizures of debtors and authorities now plan digital forensics and asset tracing to identify wider regional networks and more suspects.
