Two men were allegedly captured in the middle of the street and their relatives had to pay a ransom to free them.
Four people were arrested, accused of having committed an extortionate kidnapping, which was linked to the issue of drug sales in Villa 9 de Julio.
According to the information, weeks ago, due to an issue linked to illicit activity, members of a group that sold substances in different parts of that sector of the city, captured two men in the middle of the street who would have “kiosks” in the area.
Upon learning what had happened, the victims’ relatives filed a complaint with the 10th section. Investigators suspected that the kidnapped people had not paid the debt for the drugs they had purchased or had not made the money for the sales they made for the group. Apparently, the kidnappers demanded payment of a sum of money to free them.
The men were eventually released, but the investigation continued apace. The federal prosecutor Agustín Chit He led the investigation, which was developed by the Police Intelligence Department.
Upon adding sufficient evidence, at Chit’s request, the judge ordered the arrest of four men who would be members of the Mansilla clan.
