Overview

• Prosecutors asked to send two Gendarmería officers to oral trial over a 2024 Route 11 stop where a motorcyclist was shot in the arm, citing video evidence that contradicts claims of shots fired into the air and a judge’s finding of disproportionate force.
• The Federal Oral Court No. 3 handed life sentences to Mauricio Matías Marca Choque and Rubén “Cara de Bota” Arce Alonoka for the aggravated murder of Harold Jorge Vacarezza Alpiri in the Bajo Flores narco dispute, aligning with the prosecution’s case on territorial control.
• After the Independiente–Universidad de Chile riots, fiscal Mariano Zitto said several episodes are classified as attempted homicide, reviewed hundreds of videos, and noted the stadium’s closure as inquiries proceed; Independiente reported 25 identified barrabravas for expulsions and lifetime admission bans.
• Deputies postponed by one week the creation of a special commission on the contaminated fentanyl deaths, with blocs still split over a bicameral versus single-chamber format as families of victims attended the debate.
• In a related corruption probe, Judge Sebastián Casanello ordered raids in two Nordelta neighborhoods linked to owners of the Suizo Argentina drug distributor to obtain entry logs and security footage, executed by the Buenos Aires City Police.
