Overview
- The 55-year-old says he identified Erick Moreno Hernández in San Lorenzo after recognizing him from TikTok videos and alerted a police contact in Pedro Juan Caballero, leading to the September capture in Paraguay.
- He states he filed a sworn declaration at the Peruvian Embassy on September 23 to claim the one‑million‑sol reward and says he has received no reply or protection.
- Following media reports of the arrest, he reports late‑night calls seeking his exact location, including one purportedly to coordinate payment, and says he stopped answering out of fear for his family.
- Paraguayan Interior Ministry sources told local media the matter is now in the judicial realm, so police there cannot comment on the reward dispute.
- Moreno, accused in Peru of leading extortion and hitman networks, remains detained in a Paraguayan prison, with no public confirmation that Peru has processed the reward or offered protection.
