‘Pequeño J’ Captured in Peru in Triple Femicide Probe

A joint ArgentinePeruvian phone‑tracking operation led to the arrests, with extradition to Buenos Aires expected for both suspects.

Overview

  • Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, 20, was detained near Pucusana after antenna data tracking led officers to a truck where he was hiding.
  • Hours earlier in Lima, police arrested Matías Agustín Ozorio, identified as the alleged right‑hand of the suspected mastermind, under active Interpol alerts.
  • Authorities now report nine people detained in the case, including suspects accused of luring the victims, cleaning the crime scene and burying the bodies.
  • Prosecutors imposed a 48‑hour secrecy order and scheduled cellphone forensics on seized devices as they prepare formal charges and extradition paperwork.
  • Investigators say the three young women were lured to a Florencio Varela house, tortured and killed, with parts of the violence reportedly shared in a closed social‑media group, while police sources said a minister’s public post risked the capture plan.
