Overview

• Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, alias “Pequeño J”, was arrested near Pucusana after hiding in a fish truck, and Matías Agustín Ozorio was detained earlier in Lima in a joint operation by Peru’s antinarcotics police with Buenos Aires investigators and Interpol using phone interceptions.
• With these captures, authorities report nine people in custody in the case involving the killings of Morena Verdi, Brenda del Castillo and Lara Gutiérrez, whose bodies were buried in a house in Florencio Varela.
• Officials are coordinating the extradition of Valverde Victoriano and the likely expulsion of Ozorio so they can be brought before prosecutor Adrián Arribas.
• Prosecutors characterize the crimes as aggravated homicides with a gender‑violence qualifier, and investigators link the motive to tusi trafficking disputes and an alleged live transmission intended to send a criminal message.
• Forensic analysis of seized phones is scheduled, and recent searches recovered a suspected support vehicle as investigators detail roles of other detainees, including digging the grave and cleaning the scene.
