Sixth Arrest in Florencio Varela Triple Femicide as Hunt for 'Pequeño J' Intensifies

Prosecutors call the killings a narcotrafficking reprisal, with an Interpol red notice targeting the suspected planner.

Overview

  • Ariel Giménez, 29, was detained as the sixth suspect, accused of being hired to dig the burial pit for the three victims.
  • Investigators say a ride‑hailing driver’s testimony and recovered items—a shovel from a neighbor and a speaker from a searched home—linked Giménez to the task.
  • Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro, identified as a driver tied to the transfers, was captured in Bolivia and is being moved into Buenos Aires custody.
  • An Interpol red notice seeks Tony “Pequeño J” Valverde Victoriano as the alleged intellectual author, as authorities pursue a narco‑revenge line of inquiry.
  • Families rallied for justice while Morena Verdi’s mother questioned the focus on “Pequeño J” and accused police of mishandling the case.
