Overview
- Federal judge Alicia Vence ordered coordinated raids on December 5 in San Martín that led to Nápoli’s detention and seven additional arrests.
- Police reported seizing five firearms, eight vehicles, cash, about 2,000 cocaine doses prepared for sale, and 22 kilos of marijuana.
- Investigators say Nápoli for decades served as a go-between who warned gangs about planned operations, interfered in cases, and helped take over properties.
- The case stems from a Villa 9 de Julio narcotics file and points to activity in Villa Tranquila associated with figures including Max “Alicho” Alí.
- Nápoli declined to testify, and specialized units with internal-affairs support are analyzing seized phones and financial trails for potential further charges.
