Suspected Driver Arrested in Bolivia in Florencio Varela Triple Femicide as Hunt for ‘Pequeño J’ Intensifies

To block flight, investigators publicized the alleged mastermind’s identity, securing an Interpol red notice for his purported aide.

Overview

  • Lázaro Víctor Sotacuro was captured in Villazón, Bolivia, accused of driving the vehicle that took the three victims to the Florencio Varela house where they were killed, and authorities are transferring him to Argentina.
  • Judicial authorities requested an Interpol red notice for Matías Agustín Ozorio, described as the right‑hand man of “Pequeño J,” imputing him as coauthor of aggravated triple homicide.
  • Police released the name and image of the alleged mastermind, Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, 20, known as “Pequeño J,” and issued national and international arrest orders.
  • Four suspects arrested earlier remain in custody on aggravated homicide charges and are held at the Melchor Romero facility as the case proceeds under the La Matanza homicide unit.
  • Forensic findings cited by prosecutors describe extreme torture and gender‑based violence, and investigators say parts of the attack were streamed to a closed social‑media group as a narco ‘message.’
