Overview

• Officers detained Fernando Andrés “Colo” Cappelletti on Thursday near Pellegrini and Colón after following him on foot following an earlier pre‑dawn search in barrio Triángulo.
• Prosecutors accuse him of asociación ilícita connected to illegal gambling and say he helped administer virtual casinos and betting accounts allegedly used by cashiers with false identities.
• Investigative files list him as “Rojo23” and link him to former PDI agent Jonatan Garraza and to alleged organizer Lisandro “Limón” Contreras of Los Menores.
• Cappelletti had recently joined the provincial top‑10 most‑wanted list under a public rewards program targeting high‑priority fugitives, with a 20 million‑peso bounty for information.
• A local retirees’ center reports serious damage from what it calls an improper Gendarmería search tied to the operation, as authorities pursue related lines on the criminal structure and possible police contacts.
