Police captured the fugitive on Saturday 31 October at a rural establishment in
Hasenkamp and lodged him in Penal Unit No. 1 in Paraná.[1][2]The detained man is
Juan Esteban Siebenlist Bustos, who had a standing capture order in the La Paz
marijuana transport case.[3]The operation took place at the Doña Inés field
on National Route 127, where he tried to escape but was quickly subdued.[3][2]Investigators identify Siebenlist Bustos as one of the people who coordinated
transport logistics and escorted the load.[3][2]The case had already led to the
detention of Commissioner Daniel Alejandro Rosatelli in the 19 August raids and
five more arrests the next week.[1][2]
The investigation began on 13 February when police pursuing a Jumper van on
rural roads in La Paz department seized1,345 kilos of marijuana.[3][2]Police
say the load comprised 1,716 packages of marijuana abandoned in the van near La
Paz city.[3]During the Hasenkamp search officers seized about two million
pesos, foreign currency, six mobile phones, a carbine, 19 calibre .22
cartridges, vehicle documents and a Toyota Corolla with adulterated chassis and
engine numbers.[3][2]Five other people were identified at the property.[3]The
narcotics section of the Dangerous Drugs directorate located him after about 60
days of investigative work.[3]The case is before Federal Court No. 1 in
Paraná under Judge Leandro Ríos.[3]
Rosatelli, a commissioner and lawyer processed with preventive detention over
the van allegedly used for transport, remains detained while the federal chamber
must decide his appeal.[1]His defence says there is no direct evidence
linking him to the transport of the 1,345 kilos of marijuana.[1]The defence
rejects using his role in the November 2025 purchase and sale of a Jumper van to
establish participation in the later drug transport.[1]The defence also
disputes the phone-record interpretation, denies Rosatelli knew the fugitive and
seeks revocation of the processing, detention and embargo or alternative
measures.[1]Dangerous Drugs chief Claudio Passadore declined further detail
because of secrecy, while the federal investigation into responsibilities and
transport organization continues.[1]
The outlets brand the seized van differently as Renault Jumper and Citroën Jumper, so the report uses only Jumper van.
Rounded figures of more than 1,300 kilos refer to the same 1,345-kilo La Paz seizure, which is the precise figure recorded.
The total of seven detained is summed from one Rosatelli detention plus five arrests the next week plus the new fugitive; no source states seven directly.
No cannabis was reported seized in the Hasenkamp procedure itself; the 1,345 kg refers to the February La Paz seizure.
No charge, hearing date or court outcome for Siebenlist Bustos was reported; he was held incommunicado at the federal court's disposal.
Rosatelli's appeal against processing, preventive detention and embargo was still pending before the federal chamber.
The full identities and procedural status of the five people arrested in August and the five people identified at Doña Inés were not established in the opened sources.
Cash was reported only as about two million Argentine pesos plus dollars, Guaraníes and a smaller sum in reais, without exact verified totals, so no value is recorded.
The pages carry event-related photos with generic or empty captions and a composite portrait, which do not establish that they show this arrest or seizure, so no media entry is included.
The EntreRíosYA page credits Elonce as its source, so it is not fully independent of the existing Elonce report.
The EntreRíosYA featured image is presented without a caption establishing that it shows the Hasenkamp arrest or seized items, so no media entry is added for this source.
