Overview
- Prosecutors and specialized police units carried out coordinated raids that led to seven detentions including Jasén Rojas, known as 'Chiquiplun', who is accused of serving as the group's technical operator.
- The raids targeted nine properties in Comas, San Martín de Porres and Callao following operations on Sunday, October 18, and recovered phones, bank cards, cash, documents and a motorcycle as evidence.
- Authorities say Rojas allegedly extracted images and personal data from state-held databases to strengthen threats against drivers and their relatives used by the extortion network.
- Investigators report that drivers from companies such as El Loro, La 21, La 30 and Translima S.A. were pressured to pay about S/10 per day, and prosecutors are building case files to assign individual responsibility.
- Forensic teams will now analyze seized devices and state systems to determine which databases were compromised, whether insiders were involved, and what legal charges to pursue.
