Chats and Seizures Put PAMI Nurse in 150-Day Detention Over Alleged Fentanyl Sales

Prosecutors say phone forensics with a lot‑matched vecuronium vial tie him to drugs diverted from a PAMI hospital.

Overview

  • Federal judge Román Lanzón ordered 150 days of preventive detention for Luis Emanuel B. after a hearing in Rosario.
  • He is charged with trafficking related to fentanyl, selling medicinal substances dangerous to health, and illegal possession of a firearm.
  • Chats and a 17‑second audio recovered from the 2023 decedent’s phone show the seller offering vecuronium as “two times stronger” and giving dosing instructions, including “te vas a pasar para el otro lado.”
  • October 1 searches seized multiple fentanyl ampoules, 96 vecuronium vials, syringes, and other hospital drugs, with the vecuronium lot matching the vial found with the deceased.
  • Investigators say the PAMI II nurse, employed since 2014, diverted medications for sale via social networks, and the federal case continues with toxicology work and efforts to identify other buyers.
