Overview

• Ariel Giménez, 29, was detained on Saturday night and charged with aggravated concealment after investigators linked him to digging the burial pits and covering the bodies.
• Evidence cited includes a ride‑app driver’s testimony about transporting a man with a shovel and a loudspeaker, the recovery of that speaker in Giménez’s home, and a shovel retrieved from a neighbor.
• With Giménez, six suspects are in custody, while Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro—detained in Villazón, Bolivia—was transported toward Buenos Aires under extradition procedures.
• Interpol issued a red notice for alleged mastermind Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, alias ‘Pequeño J’, who remains a fugitive; a notice also targets his alleged lieutenant, Matías Agustín Ozorio.
• Large demonstrations demanded justice, a TV journalist was assaulted during a march, and relatives—most prominently Morena Verdi’s mother—publicly questioned the ‘Pequeño J’ hypothesis and criticized police handling.
