Overview

• Driver Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro and his niece, Florencia Ibáñez, gave statements before prosecutor Adrián Arribas, after which the case was placed under secrecy and both were returned to separate prisons.
• Authorities report at least seven people detained across operational roles that include the property owners, a grave digger, a driver and two suspects caught cleaning bloodstains, while some outlets cite additional arrests from Villa Zavaleta raids.
• Alleged planners Tony Janzen Valverde, known as “Pequeño J,” and Matías Agustín Ozorio remain fugitives under national and international capture orders, with Interpol red notices issued.
• Investigators recovered a Volkswagen Fox in Quilmes believed to have supported the abductions, and it will undergo forensic analysis after being linked on cameras to the convoy that moved the victims.
• Police seized an anonymous handwritten note at a Buenos Aires precinct naming a purported associate of “Pequeño J” and providing an address near Villa Zavaleta, as teams pursue digital evidence that could include a live-stream of the attack.
