Misiones Police Breakout: Three Recaptured, Four Still at Large Near Brazil Border

Police intensify a cross-border manhunt as probes examine possible custody failures.

Overview

  • Three escapees have been detained: Juan José Ferreira Álvez near the station hours after the breakout, Jorge Guillermo Ojeda later that day, and Alejandro Ramos during a Route 14 bus check on Tuesday.
  • Four fugitives remain at large in the border zone: Emanuel Krourluch, Daniel Simons, Agustín Morais and Darío Brítez.
  • The escape originated from the Bernardo de Irigoyen police station after detainees opened a hole in a bathroom wall.
  • Authorities maintain an operativo cerrojo with access controls, searches in wooded areas, ground and aerial patrols, drones, tracking dogs and tactical teams, supported by real-time coordination with Brazil’s Military Police.
  • Internal Affairs launched an administrative investigation and the on-duty officers face a prosecutorial inquiry focused on possible negligence or complicity in the custody lapses.
