Overview

  • Eleven suspects tied to ‘Los Sanguinarios de la Construcción’ were placed in preliminary detention as 53 locations were searched, including the Carabayllo and Comas municipal offices and the home of Carabayllo’s mayor.
  • Investigators say the Lima Norte network was led by Adam Smith Lucano, alias ‘El Jorobado’, who allegedly directed armed cells from prison to coerce construction projects through threats and ‘cupos’.
  • Searches linked to the Lima case included five prison cells and resulted in the seizure of documents and at least 11 vehicles while authorities examine alleged shell firms and municipal links for possible money laundering.
  • In La Libertad, police and prosecutors raided 24 properties and prison cells against ‘Los Letales del Norte Nueva Generación’, arresting multiple suspects, including two serving PNP subofficers accused of leaking operational information.
  • Authorities reported seizing firearms, munitions, cash, phones and extortion materials in La Libertad and confirmed an active search for alleged ringleader Celso Emilio Moreno Cabrera, ‘Gringo Celso’, with a S/30,000 reward.
