Over 260 Kilos of Cocaine Seized in Coordinated Federal Raids Across Buenos Aires

Judicial orders from Villa Mercedes with PROCUNAR oversight drove an intelligence‑led push to disrupt a wholesale supply network.

Overview

  • The operation began with the stop of a Toyota Etios in Ituzaingó carrying 60 cocaine bricks, where an Argentine man and a Peruvian national were detained.
  • Eight court‑ordered raids followed across the AMBA, including a Moreno residence in Barrio Trujuy where roughly 200 more bricks were found, bringing the total haul to over 260 kg.
  • Raids in Saavedra, Monserrat, and Almagro in the capital accompanied actions in the west of Greater Buenos Aires, with several suspects detained across locations.
  • Authorities seized 2.2 million pesos, U.S. currency, mobile phones, and key documents, along with prepackaged doses of cocaine and marijuana.
  • The case proceeds under Federal Judge Juan Carlos Nacul with PROCUNAR chief Diego Iglesias, as Police Federal narcotics investigators lead the probe; media reports noted 'KTM' package markings and an estimated value above $1.5 million.
