Suspected Mastermind in Florencio Varela Triple Femicide Questioned as He Denies Involvement

Prosecutors are scrutinizing a prison notebook to test a narco‑dispute motive.

Overview

  • He was formally charged and brought before the La Matanza homicide unit, where he rejected links to the case, the detainees and the group known as Los Pulpos.
  • Investigators seized a notebook from his cell with phone numbers and visitor entries, and they examine whether planning occurred during visits with access to a shared phone.
  • Prosecutors maintain the victims were kidnapped and killed in a dispute over 3 to 4 kilos of cocaine that could translate to 30 to 40 kilos for sale if highly pure.
  • His imputation draws on reports of movements, prior records and a photo lineup in which another suspect identified him, following his August 27 Interpol arrest in Lanús on a Peru warrant.
  • New steps include statements scheduled for additional suspects and the detention of Mónica Débora Mujica, whom prosecutors accuse of wiping her partner Víctor Sotacuro’s phone and being aware of the events.
