Overview

• Investigators detained the officers on Wednesday night and seized uniforms, service weapons, ammunition and cash during searches.
• The suspects were identified as Pablo F. of the Comando Radioeléctrico and Aldo R. of the provincial Internal Affairs agency, who will be charged by prosecutor Karina Bartocci at Rosario’s Centro de Justicia Penal.
• The case stems from a Sept. 19 operation at the PlastiTec factory in Granadero Baigorria where men dressed as police presented bogus documents tied to a non-existent money-laundering case.
• According to the complaint, the crew took the cash and left in a Ford EcoSport with no license plates, and investigators are still seeking a third participant.
• Days earlier, on Sept. 16, the victim had been briefly detained, disclosed a large sum of cash in his vehicle and later had the money returned after a lawful search.
