Overview
- The Justice of Guarantees in La Matanza ordered preventive detention for eight defendants and approved transferring the case, which was assigned by draw to Federal Court No. 2 of Morón.
- Joseph Freyser Cubas Zavaleta, known as “Señor J,” remains held at a PFA facility, is indicted as the alleged organizer, and faces pending extradition to Peru while being prosecuted locally.
- With his detention, the tally of those held in the case rises to about eleven, and three suspects remain fugitives with Interpol red notices: Alex Ydone Castillo, David Gustavo Huamani (“El Loco David”), and Manuel Valverde Rodríguez.
- Witness statements describe a narco‑revenge motive tied to the reported theft of roughly 30 kilos of cocaine, with allegations that torture was transmitted live to accomplices.
- The family of victim Lara Gutiérrez publicly urged authorities not to move the file immediately to federal jurisdiction, arguing the homicide investigation could be sidelined.
