The first lines fell, the second lines fell… now it seems to be the turn of those who were hiding. Barely a week apart, the Gendarmerie arrested three members of the main drug gang in Bajo Flores: two fell in Peru, where work was done with local authorities, and a third in the Buenos Aires suburbs.
Jorge Enrique Andía Arnao (62), alias “Monillo”, and Ronald Jilmer Huertas (35), alias “Jota”, fell in Lima, Peru, between June 8 and 9. Now the procedures for their extraditions will begin.
Carlos Martín Alvarado Andío (36), alias “Caballito”was arrested last Thursday in Laferrere, La Matanza district, west of Greater Buenos Aires.
They had a national and international arrest warrant since 2021 from Federal Court No. 12 of Capital, accused of carrying out different functions within the gang: from security of sales positions to collection control. The three appeared in the notebooks seized from the gang.
“Monillo”, “Caballito” and “Jota” were fugitives – from a job in the Metropolitan Operations Division of the Federal Police – after the arrest of Johnny Ray Arnao Quispe (40), alias “Pantro”who ended up sentenced to 11 years in prison.

“Pantro” had taken over the Peruvian sector after the fall of the main leaders.
The Peruvian gang, owner of traffic in the village 1-11-14, functioned as a clan or as an association of interrelated clans. And these new arrests are not the exception to that rule: they are all related to different leaders of the organization that the brothers founded 30 years ago. Fernando and Marco Antonio Estrada Gonzáles in Bajo Flores.

Each part of the Federal Police, the City Police or the Gendarmerie allows the family tree of each family to be assembled. The surnames are repeated until they almost form a tongue twister. For example, “Monillo” Andía Arnao and “Caballito” Alvarado Andía are cousins of “Pantro” Arnao Quispe.
In turn, “Caballito” is also the cousin of “Sonrisas” (José Andía Ormeño), the capo’s right hand man. Raúl Maylli Rivera (42), alias “Dumbo”today imprisoned.
Raúl Martín Maylli Rivera, better known as “Dumbo”, was arrested in Lima, Peru.
And it continues: “Jota” Huertas Martel is cousin of Eddy Martel Valverde (53)whom everyone in the town knew as “Crazy Eddy” and died along with two cronies in a drug ambush, in the middle of the neighborhood, in 2022.
Under Flores, does the story continue?
“Piti” and “Marcos” Estrada Gonzáles gained fame as heavy drug traffickers based on deaths and managing the main cocaine and paco outlet in the Federal Capital.
Today “Marcos” is in Peru (he was expelled from Argentina) and “Piti” is imprisoned in a Federal Penitentiary Service (SPF) prison. Many of his historical confidants were convicted, but there is one alarming detail.
The fall of Fernando Estrada Gonzáles, alias “Piti”, brother of the Peruvian drug lord “Marcos”.
The first cases against the Estrada Gonzáles gang reached a conviction more than a decade ago, one in 2012 and another in 2013. Those were the two largest and were resolved by a summary trial.
In 2013, for example, one was closed with sentences that did not exceed 6 years in prison and 36 were convicted, not including “Marcos.”
What does this have to do with what is currently happening in the 1-11-14 village? Apparently, a lot.
“All the old members of the band who were prisoners at the time are being released and they want to recover the field“he explained to Clarion an experienced Federal investigator. At first, they would have begun to collect money with the “quotas”, as the security charge from merchants is called, which is nothing other than extortion.

Incidents in Bajo Flores: pepper spray and rubber bullets.
But some sources indicate that these former cadres want to rebuild the drug sales scheme in the Peruvian sector, now without the Estrada Gonzáles at the helm.
It is within this framework that last Friday it would have been organized a raid operation in the town with Gendarmerie and City Police agents. According to sources in charge of the operation, the motive was a case for alleged stolen cell phones, opened based on complaints from the people of the neighborhood.

In the videos taken and spread by neighbors, you can see how four men were detained while an alarm is heard in the background, which is the one they set the inhabitants of the town themselves to protect themselves from theft.
On Friday there was everything: stones, tear gas and rubber bullets. That troubled river, they say, is being fertilized by drug traffickers who never give up.
