Nightmare of a Rafaelian greengrocer in Santa Fe: they shot him nine times and stole millions
A Rafael merchant in the greengrocer sector, identified as Juan Carlos A., was the victim of a brutal assault in the provincial capital, where he was robbed of a very important sum, which according to some journalistic versions, was around 20 million pesos and 9 thousand dollars. . The money was in the trunk of the vehicle owned by the victim and the fact that the criminals went “directly” to that place gave Juan Carlos indications that it was the subject of a “delivery”, of a “datum” that he provided. information to the assailants.
The robbery occurred on Thursday afternoon and was revealed by the Aire de Santa Fe portal, which reported that the Rafael greengrocer resisted and was brutally beaten by the criminals. The merchant had gone to the Santa Fe Suppliers Market and had parked his vehicle inside the premises. The man finished parking the car when he was immediately approached by two armed criminals who threatened to kill him. “Stay still because I’ll burn you,” they told him and they fought, as described by the aforementioned portal.
In statements to the Aire de Santa Fe radio, the Rafael merchant assured that “they fired nine shots at me, I am grateful that none of them hit me. I did not stay behind, I confronted them and they hit me with an iron in the head. This is a dedication of people inside the market,” said Juan Carlos, who was robbed of nearly 20 million pesos, 9 thousand dollars, and escaped. Juan Carlos maintains that “it’s a scam” because “they didn’t go to search the car, they went straight to the trunk. The car of one of the stallholders was left like a sieve due to the gunshots,” he said.
In the same report, the Rafael native complained about the insecurity to which market customers are continually exposed. “They make you wait outside with a lot of money, surrounded by villas, humble people, I don’t put all the people in the same bag.” because there are working people.” Juan Carlos lamented “It is the work of a lifetime for these people to come and take it from you in a second. Supposedly, the market does not allow people with weapons to enter. There are security cameras. They have killed people inside the market and you you see in there,” he highlighted. The worker has been carrying out the same activity for 45 years, when he started with his father in the old market of Urquiza and Mendoza. “Today you find that you are in nowhere. We are exposed, not only me, any buyer, I don’t see responses from the authorities,” concluded Juan Carlos.
