Coordinated Raids in Three Provinces Disrupt Small Drug Networks Using a Bar and a Parking Lot

Citizen tips drove fiscal-led warrants that revealed retail logistics, with one detainee already wanted for homicide.

Overview

  • In Mar del Plata, federal agents detained three women and a man after uncovering a bar in the Juramento area used as a front for drug sales.
  • Seizures there included more than three kilos of marijuana flower, fractioned cocaine plus a high‑purity rock, handguns with ammunition, phones and computers, cash, thermal boxes from a delivery app, motorcycles and a car, with the case placed under Federal Court No. 1.
  • In San Rafael, police arrested two men and a woman linked to sales in a Calle Chile parking lot following three searches that also yielded marijuana in multiple forms, plants and seeds, precision scales, phones and ledgers.
  • In Santa Fe, a judge ordered preventive detention for five family members accused of retailing cocaine and marijuana after an early‑morning raid that found small packaged doses, a precision scale, cellphones and cash.
  • One of those detainees, Fernanda Daniela Ortega, was captured on an outstanding warrant for homicide and robbery, and her case was unified with the new drug prosecution.
