Multi-Province Raids Detain Women Accused of Running Local Drug Networks in Argentina

Forensic analysis of seized phones will probe supplier links, including alleged leadership.

Overview

  • In the Buenos Aires conurbano, investigators detained a woman suspected of leading a cocaine sales crew, seizing doses, cash, a precision scale and cellphones under directives from Fiscal Fernando Amador López.
  • Two simultaneous raids in Santa Rosa de Lima dismantled drug kiosks, with two women aged 22 and 26 arrested and eight cocaine packets, three phones and AR$283,500 confiscated.
  • Authorities in that case highlighted the phones as key evidence to be extracted next week, as the detainees said they sold on behalf of another supplier.
  • In Villa Allende, Córdoba, the FPA arrested a 51-year-old woman accused of heading a network that recruited youths for lookout and sales roles, after anonymous tips linked two addresses; cocaine, marijuana, cash and digital scales were seized.
  • A Tucumán raid tied to a death-threat complaint found cocaine rocks, a digital scale, cutting tools and cash and led to the detention of a 30-year-old woman, with UFINAR continuing the investigation under Law 23.737.
