High-Profile Fugitive 'Dibu' Gómez Moved to Piñero Under Elite Security

Officials credit an intelligence-led PDI search, with the 35‑million‑peso reward now reassigned.

Overview

  • After judicial authorization, a TOE team transported Gerardo Sebastián Gómez from Dock Sud to Piñero, where he entered the high‑profile pavilion at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday.
  • The transfer used a prepared vehicle, six elite officers with long and short arms, and strict operational secrecy, according to provincial authorities.
  • Gómez was captured on August 26 by PDI agents in Dock Sud; he resisted arrest and was subdued after a struggle, investigators said.
  • He is accused in an MPA case over a 2022 homicide in Puente Gallego and of integrating a criminal structure led by Cristian “Pupito” Avalle, linked to Los Monos.
  • Santa Fe declared the 35‑million‑peso reward for his capture vacante and will redirect the funds to pursue another high‑priority fugitive through the Bloque de Búsqueda.
