Overview

  • Provincial security chiefs Juan Pablo Quinteros and Gaspar Javier Solá Usandivaras oversaw the deployment that targeted separate criminal cells operating across both provinces.
  • Two men with extensive records were arrested in Córdoba over an armed home invasion in a gated community in Salta, linked to a pattern of similar robberies under investigation.
  • Eight suspects were detained in Córdoba in a scheme that involved renting cars in Salta and not returning them, with vehicles later located in Córdoba and even in Bolivia, and 1.5 kilograms of marijuana seized.
  • Investigators traced a fraud ring to five cells in Río Cuarto’s Prison No. 6, where inmates organized phone and social‑media scams using external “digital mules,” leading to seven arrests in Las Perdices and General Cabrera.
  • In a related narcotics case in Córdoba’s Lamadrid neighborhood, the FPA arrested three people and seized cocaine, tussi, Rohypnol, cash and evidence, with one detainee identified as a parolee with prior drug‑sale charges.
