Peru Expels Alleged Tren de Aragua Member Wanted in Chile for Ex-Mayor’s Kidnapping

The handover at the Tacna–Chacalluta crossing followed an Interpol red notice under Peru’s expedited PASEE procedure.

Overview

  • Peru’s GRECCO unit arrested Daybelis Joselin Puerta Puerta in Lima’s Lince district after surveillance coordinated with Interpol and Chile’s BIPE Antisecuestros.
  • Migraciones applied the special PASEE process and executed her expulsion at the PeruChile border, transferring her to Chilean custody in Tacna for the June case involving former Macul mayor Gonzalo Montoya Riquelme.
  • Authorities identify her as an alleged member of the Venezuelan-origin Tren de Aragua, with a red notice tied to the extortionate kidnapping in Santiago’s Macul commune.
  • Chilean investigators allege she went to the victim’s home during the abduction and took $4,600 after a videoconference revealed the cash location.
  • Police seized a mobile phone during her arrest and handed it to Chilean investigators for review, and one outlet reports a 15-year ban on her reentry to Peru.
