Overview
- Federal teams arrested 12 suspects, including former federal officer Carlos Daniel Maidana, after coordinated raids following a tip received in late May.
- Investigators seized vehicles, two 9 mm pistols, an endoscopic camera and heavy tunneling and construction tools that matched the gang’s planned method of entry.
- The plot targeted Banco Nación in Morón and Banco Provincia in Baradero with tunnels from neighboring premises to steal dollars and gold stored in safety boxes.
- Judicially authorized surveillance used drones, hidden cameras and Telepase vehicle tracking to confirm movements, identify defined roles and prompt arrests.
- The case is now with federal prosecutors who will probe possible bank-employee complicity and examine links between the arrested group and past narcotics investigations involving Maidana.
