Overview

• Administrative staff arrived on July 4 around 6 AM to find a window open, a forced closet and a tampered safe lock in the ranch’s administrative office, prompting a police report.
• An inventory confirmed the theft of US $17,000, €200,000 and a black backpack whose contents have not been disclosed.
• Investigators noted the office lacked surveillance cameras, alarm systems and was habitually left unlocked.
• Fiscalía N°152 de Esperanza reclassified the case as “robo calificado,” remitted the dossier to the PDI and scheduled interagency coordination meetings.
• No suspects have been named and authorities are probing whether the raid was a targeted, premeditated operation aided by insider information.
