Overview

• Security Minister Patricia Bullrich and Jujuy Governor Carlos Sadir confirmed the detention of Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro in Villazón, Bolivia.
• Extradition procedures are in progress, with plans to transfer him into custody of the Policía Federal Argentina’s investigative unit in La Quiaca.
• Authorities identify Sotacuro as the man linked to the white truck last seen with the three victims, and officials say he also traveled in a Volkswagen Fox used to support that vehicle.
• The operation was coordinated by the MPA de Jujuy and the Brigada de Investigaciones de La Quiaca with Bolivian police, after leads tracked his route north.
• The case continues with additional suspects detained and an INTERPOL notice active for Matías Agustín Ozorio, tied by investigators to the alleged organizer known as “Pequeño J.”
