Overview

• Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro was detained in Villazón, Bolivia, and is to be transferred to Argentine federal investigators; he is accused of driving a vehicle used to move the victims.
• With Sotacuro’s arrest, five suspects are now in custody, including four previously detained in Argentina who remain jailed in Melchor Romero on aggravated homicide charges.
• Prosecutors publicized the identity and image of the suspected leader, Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, known as “Pequeño J,” and issued national and international capture orders.
• An Interpol red notice seeks the arrest of Matías Agustín Ozorio, described by investigators as a key accomplice and co-author in the killings, with extradition to be requested if located.
• Forensic findings detail extreme torture; investigators say the victims were lured with a false invitation, transported in a white Chevrolet Tracker with a Volkswagen Fox as support, and the violence was broadcast to a closed online group.
