Santa Fe Reaches 100 Drug-Sale Site Inactivations Under Microtrafficking Law

A provincial prosecutor says sustained, interagency operations supported by anonymous community tips are helping to curb neighborhood violence.

Overview

  • The 100th intervention was carried out on December 29 at Pavón 568 in Venado Tuerto, following actions No. 98 in Capitán Bermúdez and No. 99 in Frontera.
  • Officials say the province reached 100 takedowns in less than two years since the microtrafficking framework took effect in early 2024.
  • Prosecutor Franco Carbone reported a direct impact on reducing violence from these closures, while noting they are one part of a broader strategy.
  • Authorities highlight coordinated work among the provincial government, the MPA, provincial courts, Santa Fe Police, federal forces and local municipalities.
  • Carbone cited around 2,500 searches and 700 firearms seized in two years—roughly seven raids per day—and encouraged reports via the anonymous 0800 line.
