  • Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro was detained in Villazón, Bolivia, and extradited to Argentina, where he is accused of providing a support car used in the abduction.
  • Authorities identified TonyJanzen Valverde Victoriano, alias “Pequeño J,” 20, from Peru’s La Libertad, as the suspected ringleader and intellectual author, now a fugitive with an international capture request.
