The crackdown followed a mid‑August narcotics inquiry under prosecutor Fernando Amador López, yielding sizable seizures under Judge Carina Andrijasevich.

Overview

  • Four alleged dealers were detained after nine raids in the west of Greater Buenos Aires, with cocaine packaged in 323 packets, marijuana, cultivation gear, multiple firearms and large sums of cash seized.
  • The narcotics case began on August 15 under the Unidad Funcional Temática de Estupefacientes, with supervision by the Superintendency of Complex Crime and charges filed under Argentina’s drug law 23.737.
  • In Rosario, a man was wounded by gunfire at Isola and Maestros Santafesinos, the site of a 2022 double homicide, as officers arrested two suspects and collected five 9 mm casings.
  • Police identified the Rosario detainees as Alexis G., 19, and a 15‑year‑old located in a nearby apartment where marijuana packets and precision scales pointed to microtrafficking activity.
  • Separately, investigators detained a couple in the southern conurbation over a September 23 attempted home break‑in, and arrested a 30‑year‑old with a 2021 capture order following a neighborhood gunfight, with searches continuing for other suspects.
