Dirandro Detains Ex-Copani Councilor Accused of Leading Yunguyo Drug-Trafficking Network After Court-Approved Raid

The arrest stems from a July cocaine seizure in Yunguyo that expanded into an ongoing investigation with the prospect of additional detentions.

Detienen a exregidor por ser el presunto cabecilla de una organización dedicada al TID en Puno

Overview

  • Anti-drug officers detained Cristóbal Quispe Chambi, 51, in a pre-dawn home search on October 12 authorized by the judiciary in Puno’s Yunguyo province.
  • Investigators identify him as the alleged leader of the group known as Los Ilegales de Yunguyo, according to Colonel Rolando Ayala Carrasco of Dirandro.
  • The probe traces back to a July 7 operation that seized 169 brick-style packages totaling 176.675 kilos of cocaine and led to the arrests of Juan Rojas Condori and Victoria Romero Quispe.
  • Relatives reject the accusations, describe Quispe Chambi as a farmer and rancher, and call for due process, while the provincial sub-prefect clarified he served as lieutenant governor in 2024 but was not a sub-prefect.
  • Authorities say investigative diligences by Dirandro and the Ministerio Público continue and do not rule out further arrests, with documents and electronic devices seized during the October 12 raid.
