Driver Arrested in Bolivia as Argentina Issues International Warrants for ‘Pequeño J’ in Triple Femicide

The case shifts into a regional manhunt with Interpol notices intensifying pressure on the suspected organizer.

Overview

  • Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro was captured in Villazón, Bolivia, identified as the driver tied to the white Chevrolet Tracker, and began transfer and extradition steps toward Argentine custody.
  • Authorities said Sotacuro’s arrest brings the total to five detainees, joining four suspects already jailed and charged with aggravated homicide under premeditation, alevosía, ensañamiento and gender-based violence.
  • Judicial officials publicized the identity and photo of Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, alias “Pequeño J,” and ordered national and international warrants after signs he sought to flee.
  • An Interpol red notice targets Matías Agustín Ozorio, described by prosecutors as the aide to “Pequeño J,” with coauthor charges in the triple homicide.
  • The probe remains under the La Matanza homicide unit led by prosecutor Adrián Arribas, with forensic reports detailing severe torture and investigators examining an alleged closed-group live broadcast as a potential intimidation message.
