Prosecutors now lead an active inquiry after an intelligence-led chase ended with the capture of Diego Alexander Ubillus Rojas.

Overview

  • Police detained the 21-year-old, known as “Andy,” who is alleged to be a leader of the criminal group Los Chacales de La Libertad.
  • Divincri–Homicidios agents pursued a black vehicle with plate T5C-336 from avenida Cahuide to avenida Indoamérica and arrested five occupants.
  • Preliminary findings indicate he is the presumed driver of the vehicle used in the October 10 attack that killed Judge Víctor Hugo López de la Cruz in his office.
