En un operativo sorpresa en el barrio de Flores, las autoridades detuvieron a una pareja de peruanos y su hijo adolescente, incautando 70 ladrillos de cocaína. La droga, valorada en medio millón de dólares, fue encontrada en un vehículo Palio rojo. El caso está siendo llevado por la jueza Servini y se investiga si la droga ingresó al país desde Bolivia o tenía como destino Europa.

00:00...circular, in an erratic way, and began a chase that ended with these apprehensions and, shortly, detentions.
00:08Shocking, 70 cocaine bricks, look.
00:11Look, they are live images that we are receiving on the mobile phone where our partner Leo Godoy is.
00:16Leo, how are you? Good morning.
00:19How are you, Guille? Good morning.
00:21Well, the truth is that it is shocking, in the middle of the city, in the middle of Flores neighborhood.
00:26This Rivadavia, the 7800, a procedure for drugs, but with so much quantity.
00:31That's what draws a lot of attention, to have carried out this operation where they discovered these 70 cocaine breads.
00:40Some, I tell you, of maximum purity, that were kidnapped in this pale vehicle, red color, that now I'm going to show you.
00:49Look, let's go through the story a bit.
00:50Here they are doing some tests with respect to some breads.
00:55We just saw, in what the officers were showing, that one of those, for example, has a dolphin.
01:02The dolphin, which is one of the symbols that has served in recent times, in principle, belonged to a particular cartel.
01:10An Argentine cartel that handled a lot of drugs from the north to the province and to the city.
01:18And to other places, obviously, that belonged to what is known as the Castellos cartel, or the Castellos family.
01:29But finally, later, it became a symbol of the quality of the drug, which speaks of a maximum purity.
01:35Look, here they are carrying out, look how it is covered, right? Carbon paper, plastic.
01:44Look, there you can see the amount of how the cocaine bread is prepared to be transferred, not to be ...
01:52There it is, look, there they are going to do a test, at this moment, here in front of us.
01:57There they take out the reagents, inside those small bags.
02:02There the officer begins to grind and mix.
02:05Well, there it is, maximum purity.
02:08That color, the blue that you see, is what shows the purity of what this contains, this cocaine bread.
02:18We are talking about maximum purity in this case, Guille, look.
02:21And this, it caught my attention how the bread is covered by a first strip of this silver paper.
02:29Then there is carbon paper, metal paper, as Guille.
02:32How much money in cocaine is calculated? There you have thousands and thousands of dollars, right?
02:36In reality, it is calculated around half a million dollars on the street.
02:41That is, 500,000 dollars, at least, is what they transferred in this Fiat Palio, red, which circulated along Rivadavia Avenue, as I tell you, around 7,800.
02:55It begins to draw attention to some who are doing a usual control check here in the area, how it turned, yes?
03:04Obviously, the smell of the police and those who work in the brigade detected that they were turning in a strange way, as if it attracted attention.
03:15That's when the operative tries to stop them, they run away and finally they are arrested here, in this place where this car is, they obviously begin to review it, as you can see.
03:28They begin to lift the entire structure of the car and there they discover that inside were these 70 packets of cocaine that they were transferring.
03:38Two brothers of Peruvian nationality together with a minor who is the son of the woman.
03:43At one point they talked about a couple, but in reality they are brothers, yes, of Peruvian nationality, as I told you, and the minor is the son of the woman, yes?
03:52Here are, look, apart from the belongings also that you have, that's why these bags.
03:57Well, here the cell phones obviously with the procedure that requires it, that they are covered so that no type of content can be removed with some remote element, yes?
04:11That's why they are covered with the metal paper, the wallets, the bags that each one brought, there is part of the identity.
04:18There are also some invoices that later will surely be part of the investigation.
04:23Look, we are going to get closer to be able to have from another plane this that I think is fundamental, which is how they are doing on each of the breads, the proof of the purity of the cocaine, yes?
04:37Look, at this moment they are going to open this new bread, there with the cutter begins to cut the wrapper, yes?
04:47Look, well, there it is, look how it is covered, this is very important, we hardly see it very often.
04:54The metalized paper they use, the plastics they use, and there it appears, look, the dolphin, there is the mark of the dolphin, yes?
05:03There you can see, yes, look, in the middle of the cocaine is marked what is the dolphin, yes?
05:09That speaks of purity, there he takes out the bag with the reagents, he is going to take a little bit of what that brick has, he is going to put it inside the bag at this moment.
05:21And there, to the capsules that contain the reagents, the officer is going to squeeze them, as we just saw, there he begins to squeeze them, yes?
05:31He moves it, and there the blue color appears again, which speaks of the purity, of the maximum purity that this cocaine has, and that dolphin, yes, it is related, that purity with the mark of the dolphin.
05:44It is Scott's test, it is called, we know it from movies or from airport alerts, you saw that it was also done, it became very popular, that light blue, cobalt tissue, which is called the chemical formula used by the police.
05:57They will be for a long time, Leo, because there are 70 packs of cocaine, but I don't think you remember, in the short term, covering something so big in a street operation, because this happened, let's say, in a circle, it is not that it was an operation already prepared in advance of a DDI or the Federal Police.
06:18No, of course, exactly, as you say, Germán, in the city, look, I remember, at least four years ago, in the previous management of Patricia Ulrich, some very important procedure, at the entrance of the 1-11-14, where there were also several, many breads, I tell you, and it was cocaine and marihuana, but in this way, 70 packs of cocaine, and this, of maximum purity, with this mark, the mark of the dolphin, I tell you that in the city, at least four years ago, in the entrance of the 1-11-14, where there were several, many breads, I tell you, and it was cocaine and marihuana, but in this way, 70 packs of cocaine, and this, of maximum purity, with this mark, the mark of the dolphin, I tell you that in the city, at least four years ago, in the entrance of the 1-11-14, where there were several, many breads, I tell you that in the city, at
06:48least four years ago, in the entrance of the 1-11-14, where there were several, many breads,
07:05I tell you that in the city, at least four years ago, in the entrance of the 1-11-14, where
07:18We're talking about a marriage, a couple of Peruvians, a 16-year-old son involved.
07:26Well, here you have a case where, obviously, a judicial cause will be opened.
07:32The federal cause is led by Judge Cervini, right?
07:34And in this case, shouldn't they put a stamp on the back and send them to Peru?
07:38What do you have to do with these people? What do you do?
07:40And now the process is here, in Argentina.
07:42Everything continues here.
07:43While the current legislation...
07:44Do you know why I'm telling you this? These guys, from inside here, are still in charge of the outside.
07:49Yes, yes, the current legislation says that the process has to be carried out in Argentina.
07:55Yes, there are international extradition agreements, which was what we discussed last week, right?
07:59Exactly.
08:00In the reforms in what is the immigration law in the first instance.
08:02But today, with the current law, the process is carried out in Argentina.
08:06Sure.
08:07I understand that these are not the leaders in this case.
08:12But you know what? A lot of people are looking at us and saying,
08:14here you have this crap, which is not the immigration that one wants.
08:18At least these three people.
08:20These people came here to commit a crime, and surely there is someone at the top.
08:24But well, now we are going to continue talking about that.
08:26But tell me one thing, Leo.
08:28Give me the differentiation of colors in light blue and yellow.
08:32What does that bread and that difference mean?
08:35It means, it divides, it differentiates the quality of the drug.
08:40The maximum purity of a drug of lower quality.
08:43That is the difference of the reagent.
08:46At this moment, the police are already preparing to finish this part of the procedure,
08:52which has to do with the kidnapping of all the substances.
08:55They are going to transfer it.
08:56The three detainees were transferred just six minutes ago.
08:59Leo, and there were weapons.
09:01But well, before, in the place with the witnesses,
09:03in the place with the witnesses, they had to do this test,
09:08to check.
09:09Notice that there, the officer takes photos to see which bread corresponds,
09:15to fill in the documentation later.
09:17That is, there is bread 42 with the corresponding result.
09:21Leo, you just showed us the phones with the aluminum foil, the belongings, the wallet.
09:27Were there weapons?
09:28Because to carry this amount of drugs, there were no weapons.
09:32So they were possibly monitored by another vehicle.
09:35Exactly.
09:36That should be.
09:37Because to carry this amount of drugs in the middle of nowhere.
09:41Because generally, Leo, when you carry and you are alone in what is the transfer,
09:47I mean, in other cases, you carry iron to avoid any confrontation with the police.
09:54Or Mexican.
09:55Of course.
09:56Or that they steal it from you.
09:59Exactly.
10:00What they told me is that they probably would have been going around the area
10:04waiting for a signal to enter the territory or the place where they were going to deposit it.
10:10And for there, yes, already have a special custody.
10:14Because obviously it can happen, the Mexican thing, it can happen,
10:18of some procedure.
10:19But in this case, they were not going to ride two vehicles going around the city.
10:23They tried to go unnoticed.
10:25But the truth is that later, the attitude.
10:27Imagine also these people with 70 kilos of cocaine in the trunk.
10:33And they did not move with much tranquility.
10:36Before the police movement, they showed themselves insecure,
10:42they showed that they were going around with something that did not correspond.
10:45The detention center wanted to stop them.
10:47And there they escape.
10:48And there, obviously, he gave the signal that they were in something.
10:51But they did not expect to find this.
10:53No, no, no.
10:54Speaking of that.
10:55Of the surprise.
10:56Tell our cameraman, please, if you are so kind to open the shot,
11:00to see what the context is.
11:02I imagine that there the neighbors, everything must be watching.
11:05In the middle of Floresta neighborhood.
11:07In full commercial time.
11:09Describe to us what there is.
11:11There are shops, there are houses, buildings.
11:15Rivadavia Avenue, Guillermo.
11:16Rivadavia Avenue.
11:17You know what Rivadavia Avenue means in the neighborhood of Flores.
11:22And also here in Floresta.
11:24Look, a supermarket in front.
11:26All obviously registering.
11:28It is 5 o'clock in the morning, so the number of people who registered.
11:31But it is a neighborhood of a lot of movement.
11:34Furniture area.
11:35It is very close to the bus.
11:36We have been counting.
11:37Yes, yes.
11:38The number of collectives.
11:39Notice that there we only have at least four collectives.
11:43It is very close to the ACA too.
11:45The most important area of this whole area.
11:47Without a doubt.
11:48Without a doubt.
11:49From Plaza de Mayo to General Paz.
11:52Of course.
11:53It is very close to the ACA.
11:54It is an area where there are furniture stores.
11:56There is some other school.
11:58There are two or three boliches.
11:59It was very close.
12:00There is a skating rink in that area with a lot of movement.
12:03Because in addition, in Rivadavia, for some parallels,
12:07the buses that are going to make the purchases to Avenida Vellaneda are parked.
12:10Exactly.
12:11And those who cannot park on Avenida Vellaneda,
12:12maybe they are parking in Yerbal, Azul, Portela,
12:16or some of the streets that cut Rivadavia to that number.
12:19As is.
12:20But what happens?
12:21As we see that they already cut traffic
12:23or they have the perimeter area 20 meters before.
12:26Maybe you don't realize what's going on there
12:29and the amount of cocaine there is.
12:31Unless it's a transeúnte.
12:32Ah, of course.
12:33No? But you see?
12:34Look, it actually looks like the police stopping cars
12:38to see if the documentation is correct.
12:40That brick building that we see in front is San Pedrito.
12:43To realize that there are only three blocks of San Pedrito and Rivadavia.
12:48They were part, Guille.
12:49Yes.
12:50And Álvaro.
12:51They were part of a police check for a police control,
12:55especially because they were very concerned about motorcycle thefts,
12:58some other vehicle thefts.
13:02And it was about that.
13:03But when you see the suspicious attitude of this Fiat,
13:06well, that's where it catches your attention.
13:08And obviously the police eye,
13:10which is often very trained for this situation,
13:12says, these people are doing something strange.
13:16Of course.
13:17Of course.
13:23Leo.
13:25Yes.
13:27Yes.
13:28Yes.
13:29Yes.
13:30Yes.
13:31Yes.
13:32Yes.
13:33Yes.
13:34Yes.
13:35Yes.
13:36Yes.
13:37Yes.
13:38Yes.
13:39Yes.
13:40Yes.
13:41Yes.
13:42Yes.
13:43Yes.
13:44Yes.
13:45Yes.
13:46Yes.
13:47Yes.
13:48Yes.
13:49Yes.
13:50Yes.
13:51Yes.
13:52Yes.
13:53Yes.
13:54Yes.
13:55Yes.
13:56Yes.
13:57Yes.
13:58Yes.
13:59Yes.
14:00Yes.
14:01Yes.
14:02Yes.
14:03Yes.
14:04Yes.
14:05Yes.
14:06Yes.
14:07Yes.
14:08Yes.
14:09Yes.
14:10Yes.
14:11Yes.
14:12Yes.
14:13Yes.
14:14Yes.
14:15Yes.
14:16Yes.
14:17This shows that this clan is still working.
14:21It is housed in the Seiza prison,
14:24with a conviction for 16 years.
14:28But all the drugs are traced on the border between Salta and Bolivia.
14:33So what is being tried to determine is whether this drug
14:37definitely entered the country from Bolivia
14:41or had the purpose of leaving for Europe.
14:45Why? Because it is a drug of maximum purity.
14:49In Argentina there are not many consumers of cocaine of maximum purity.
14:54The Celeste that we see from Scott's test,
14:59when the Celeste is very strong,
15:01it shows that it is a drug of maximum purity.
15:04It is what we were seeing there.
15:05You see that the breads have a strong Celeste.
15:07If the drug is reduced, they reduce it even with glass,
15:11they reduce it with different chemicals
15:13that are not part of the process of cocaine chloride.
15:18The drug, when it is of very good quality, is for export.
15:22And commonly this clan has been dedicated to exporting the drug
15:26to European countries, using that free route
15:30between the border of Salta and Bolivia.
15:33Now, obviously, what we all think,
15:36this does not have to stay here.
15:39Excuse me, there was a minor who was arrested, 16 years old,
15:45son of her, the wife of the couple?
15:48Yes, son of her.
15:50They were two older brothers,
15:55and the minor was the son of the woman.
15:59The minor of 16 was the son of the woman.
16:02Now, with awareness of all this,
16:04one wonders, right?
16:05Because maybe many times there are families
16:07who get their children to sign societies
16:10and they put them in a terrible mess and they never found out.
16:12Well, in this case, being a minor,
16:14was he supposedly aware of the activities of this gang?
16:22Yes, look, at 16 years old, some awareness.
16:25Now, if he knew what they were carrying behind,
16:28I calculate that yes, no one goes out with 70 kilos of cocaine
16:34and I tell you, look, I'll show you a detail, Guille,
16:38it's not that it was camouflaged,
16:41it's not that sometimes we see some procedure
16:44where they break you, for example, where the airbag goes,
16:47where it goes, no, no.
16:48There are some things that have obviously been raised
16:50to corroborate, to see if it was in that place,
16:52or in the panels on the side of the doors,
16:55where it goes very hidden.
16:56No, here it was hidden behind,
16:58as if they were carrying a common bag,
17:01carrying any kind of merchandise,
17:03and that's where they find the drug.
17:05Notice that they take the lid off the trunk
17:07and that's where they begin to discover that the drug was there.
17:10Also the family image, you see, for a distraction method, right?
17:14Of course, it was the same with the brothers.
17:15Let's see, what they tell me about the money that was there,
17:18about $1,200, around about 300,000 pesos,
17:22250,000 pesos is not a large amount,
17:25which draws the attention of the authorities,
17:28and of those that we once covered,
17:30the narco police in El Conurbano,
17:32is that it is money for menudo,
17:35which are bills of 10 pesos,
17:38bills of 100 pesos in large quantities,
17:40which is what the regular drug consumer pays the dealer,
17:46the transa,
17:47and understands that that money that was there,
17:49which is part of the seized,
17:52which is not a very large amount,
17:53as I was telling you, about $1,200,
17:56and a little more,
17:57is money for the menudo of the sale of drugs
17:59that these criminals would have in this area,
18:02for the sale of drugs,
18:04but the quantity and quality of the drug that is being seized now
18:09would also be part of a shipment for the eventual export.
18:14So, obviously, we are talking about a local market
18:16and an international market.
18:17All this is preliminary, right?
18:19It is what, in some way,
18:20is providing a lot of caution to the city police,
18:23because this is a federal cause.
18:24It will be carried out by Judge Servini,
18:26so the police cannot provide much information,
18:28but from what is being seen in the minute-by-minute,
18:30the amount of money they had on top
18:32was not a large sum,
18:33but they understand that it was a product of the sale of the menudo.
18:39Yes, here the operation continues.
18:41Notice how, well, the loopholes that were opened
18:45and where this charity test was randomly reviewed,
18:50there they begin to wrap them with tape
18:53to obviously protect the test.
18:56In this case, they are already keeping it in boxes.
18:59And as Germán was saying,
19:01what is going to continue,
19:02and I showed you,
19:03there were three cell phones that were covered
19:05with metallic paper, obviously,
19:07to protect them,
19:08so that, remotely, nothing can be erased.
19:13The information that is in those cell phones
19:15will be very important,
19:16because from there you will be able to go up
19:19in the scale that this was not handled by three people
19:22who were moving in a red stick around the city
19:24at five in the morning.
19:26This is much bigger.
19:27To translate this,
19:28there is much bigger,
19:29much more money,
19:30many people,
19:31much more powerful in the structure
19:33within this cartel of drugs,
19:36obviously, that is working,
19:38that has different connections.
19:39They said,
19:40some could be here in the city,
19:42but they also spoke of the south of the province of Buenos Aires,
19:45where also, at this moment,
19:47they told me that in Lomas
19:49a raid is going to be carried out,
19:51at this moment,
19:52linked,
19:53with drugs
19:55that, if they find similar signs,
19:57this, obviously, could speak of some link
19:59of the same cartel that is operating
20:01in the whole area of the city.
20:03Now, we will follow it later, Leo,
20:05but they send me information,
20:07they tell me,
20:08no, don't forget that Rosario,
20:10today, much more organized
20:12than last year,
20:15from there are coming out many narcos
20:17for the Conurbano Bonerense,
20:19so, what you are saying
20:21is related to
20:23what the police of the city,
20:25what the investigators suspect,
20:27that today there are different points of reference
20:29of the drug, already very important,
20:31in the province of Buenos Aires.
20:33Pay attention to this.
20:35Let's give importance.
20:36We always say,
20:37the issue of insecurity seems to not exist.
20:39The issue of drug trafficking
20:40is going to exist
20:41among the criteria for
20:43fighting or winning?
20:44Well, that is what is to be seen,
20:46because the enclave in the province of Buenos Aires
20:48can become a disaster
20:49if this spreads.
20:51We'll be back in a while, Leo,
20:53with all the work that the police of the city
20:55are doing there. See you later.
