Overview

• Erick Moreno Hernández was arrested in San Lorenzo, Paraguay, with false documents, cellphones and cash, and a judge ordered his preventive detention at the Martín Mendoza maximum-security prison.
• An audio published in Peru features Moreno threatening the orquesta Agua Marina while asserting that no events in Lima Norte proceed without his approval.
• A separate recording captures Moreno menacing a woman he accuses of betraying him and boasting of supposed ties to high-ranking police officers.
• Reports attribute to his network kidnappings, murders and extortion that struck figures such as brigadier Luis Gonzalo ‘Kaka’ Carrasco, entrepreneur Jackeline Salazar and singer Paul Flores, as well as transport lines in Lima Norte.
• Authorities say he faces an extradition process to Peru, with investigators intending to use the newly circulated audio recordings as evidence.
