Overview

  • Detectives from the PFA’s DUOF Morón unit raided a San Justo apartment used as a synthetic-drug laboratory after a year-long inquiry triggered by an anonymous tip.
  • A 40-year-old identified as the group’s leader was arrested while producing substances, with seizures including 141 grams of tusi, 400 grams of ketamine, over half a kilo of marijuana, 137 ecstasy pills, and three precision scales.
  • Agents recovered an arsenal that included a .45 ACP submachine gun, a .308 bolt-action rifle with scope and silencer, multiple carabines and shotguns, at least seven pistols, a pistolón, and large quantities of ammunition.
  • Prosecutor Fernando Amador López ordered the suspect’s incomunicación and transfer for indagatoria on narcotics and restricted-weapons charges, with the raid authorized by Judge Fernando Pinos Guevara.
  • Authorities are cataloguing the seized firearms to establish traceability and evaluating potential ties to other armed groups, with coverage noting the San Justo location despite some references to Morón jurisdiction.
