Prosecutor Signals New Arrests in Florencio Varela Triple Femicide as Phone Forensics Deepen Probe

Forensic analysis of seized phones now drives decisions on roles, motive, jurisdiction.

Overview

  • Lead prosecutor Carlos Arribas said this week will be vital for the case, with two or three new detentions advanced and searches under way.
  • The opened data from nine detainees’ cellphones is being analyzed to define the motive and assess any narcotrafficking link that could shift the case to federal courts.
  • A Peruvian judge ordered Tony Janzen Valverde (“Pequeño J”) into nine months of preventive detention for extradition after he refused voluntary extradition, and he was moved to the Cañete prison.
  • Argentine national Matías Agustín Ozorio was returned from Lima to El Palomar aboard an Air Force plane escorted by federal and Buenos Aires police, with refueling stops in Salta.
  • Cross-border cooperation continues, with Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro captured in Villazón, Bolivia, pending transfer to Buenos Aires authorities, alongside new capture requests and a seized Renault 19 in Argentina.
