National Officials Fault Kicillof After Triple Femicide in Florencio Varela

The probe points to a narco retaliation tied to an organization with operations in CABA, according to the provincial security minister.

Overview

  • Authorities confirmed the killings of Brenda del Castillo, Lara Gutiérrez and Morena Verdi as the investigation advances without public resolution.
  • Provincial security minister Javier Alonso said initial evidence suggests a revenge attack by an international narco group operating out of CABA, a hypothesis still under investigation.
  • Security minister Patricia Bullrich said Kicillof must take responsibility for insecurity in Buenos Aires Province and criticized his statement that pointed to a group based in the capital.
  • Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos offered federal assistance against narcotrafficking if the province requests it, citing the approach used in Rosario.
  • Allied lawmakers Diego Santilli and José Luis Espert escalated criticism of the provincial government, while Buenos Aires Province sources dismissed the attacks as a "tremenda bajeza."
