Argentina’s National Gendarmerie detained three members of the Marcos Estrada Gonzalez narco clan, two in Peru with Peruvian police and one in Buenos Aires Province.[1] Peruvian police located and detained Jorge Enrique Andia Arnao (62), alias Monillo, and Ronald Jilmer Huertas (35), alias Jota, between 8 and 9 June, both wanted under an INTERPOL red notice.[1] Gendarmerie officers geolocated and detained the third member, Carlos Martin Alvarado Andio (36), alias Caballito, near the Laferrere train station in La Matanza and moved him to the unit’s premises.[1]

The three adult Peruvian citizens distributed, accounted for and supervised cocaine and marijuana and guarded the money collected at the gang’s kioscos.[1] Gendarmeria’s Cinturon Sur complex-crimes unit had been investigating the organization operating in Barrio Padre Ricciardelli (ex 1-11-14) since August 2021 under orders from Federal Court No. 12 with PROCUNAR’s involvement.[1]

Officers seized documentation in the operations that is considered important for continuing the investigations.[1] Cronica confirms that two of the wanted men were detained by Peru’s National Police in that country while the third was captured in Laferrere, La Matanza.[2] Argentina’s justice system is arranging the extradition of the two citizens detained in Peru.[3]
