Overview

• Paraguayan police arrested Erick Moreno on September 24 in San Lorenzo after months of coordinated work with Peruvian counterparts and Interpol.
• A court ordered preventive detention at the Martín Mendoza maximum‑security module due to flight risk and alleged violent leadership.
• Officials say the United States, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil have filed extradition requests, and expulsion remains an option because he entered with false documents.
• Investigators report he tried to bribe officers with up to $1 million; seized phones and a passport are under judicial custody for forensic review and possible transfer to Peru.
• Peru has formalized its extradition request and is probing alleged information leaks by two or three police officers, while Moreno denies many charges and alleges police corruption.
