Overview
- Federal soldiers, the National Guard and the FGR secured a San Luis Río Colorado warehouse that held 81 long guns, a Browning .50 cal machine gun and about 274,800 rounds, which authorities say served as a “center of accumulation” for a cell called Los Rusos linked to a Sinaloa Cartel faction.
- Simultaneous federal actions in Zapopan and Morelos resulted in the arrest of six people in each state and the seizure of multiple firearms, ammunition, drugs, vehicles and tactical gear as part of an anti‑extortion and anti‑cartel push.
- In Buenos Aires province, guards repelled an armed attempt on Daniel Scioli’s Tigre residence; investigators arrested two suspects including a former Scioli custodian while two others remain at large.
- Argentine federal police detained a 45‑year‑old woman in Tigre accused of recruiting Argentine nationals as mercenaries for Ukraine, a probe that began after suspicious travelers were stopped at Ezeiza airport and whose alleged co‑ringleader reportedly fled to Brazil.
- Regional violence and transnational crime responses continued to unfold: two state guards were killed in an ambush in San Luis Potosí, a Tijuana officer killed a presumed assailant during an attempted robbery, and Peruvian police captured members of an Ecuador‑linked gang called Los R7 as investigations proceed.
