The Buenos Aires police arrested “Dylan”, a young man wanted since February 2022 for being part of the gang responsible for selling cocaine adulterated with carfentanil and causing the death of 24 people. He is the son of the historic drug trafficker “Mameluco”, for whom the authorities offered four million pesos, and the importer of the substance which caused almost a hundred people to be hospitalized.
Luca Nahuel Baigorria, alias “Dylan”, fell this Sunday at six in the morning, in an operation that surprised him as he left a family gathering. The 29-year-old tried to escape, following having sworn that he preferred to shoot out with the police rather than return to jail, but he was captured without further complications. Designated by Justice as the importer of cocaine with carfentanil—it is suspected, from Colombia—, “Dylan” He had regained his freedom in 2021 and also survived a “reckoning.”
The San Martín National Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Buenos Aires Police and the San Martín Federal Operational Unit Division of the Federal Police participated in the operation, which, separately, intensified the search tasks until the last hours of Saturday and the first hours of Sunday. The Federal Unified Command for the Recapture of Evacuees also participated, since “Dylan” was a fugitive and the Ministry of Security offered four million pesos to anyone who provided information to achieve his arrest..
The drug gang that is accused of selling adulterated cocaine at football matches San Martín, Tres de Febrero and Hurlingham was composed of at least 20 personas and was led from prison by Miguel Ángel “Mameluco” Villalba and his other son, Iván Gabriel Villalba, alias “The Wild One”, half brother of “Dylan”. As reported Encryptdatathe young people were imprisoned at the same time and, when “Dylan” came out, he promised his mother that he would not be arrested once more, while taking command of the band in Villa Lanzone and Villa Lavalle.
On February 1, 2022, the fuck from “Mameluco” sold bags with adulterated cocaine, pink in color, in the diffuse area known as Gate 8, a settlement in the northwest of Buenos Aires, between Route 8 and the Camino del Buen Ayre, a slaughterhouse, the Morón stream and beyond the Ceamse garbage dumps. That morning, Almost a hundred people had to be hospitalized product of intoxication caused by the mixture of the narcotic and the opioid.
Tragically, 24 people died and the provincial Ministry of Health should have issued an “epidemiological alert” in response to “the identification of cases with signs of shock, depression of the sensorium, respiratory difficulty, psychomotor excitement” in cases of recent cocaine consumption. Even the Provincial Security Minister, Sergio Berniurged those who had purchased narcotics during those 24 hours to “discard the drug”.
According to what is detailed by Encryptdataa series of wiretaps He committed “Dylan” to the case from the beginning and found that, despite the fact that “Mameluco” ordered the “ugly drug” to be removed from the marketthe leader acknowledges that the alleged members of his gang “did shits and they put it up for sale” and that “they threw everything on the field what was to be discarded“. Even following the first deaths, the “Mameluco” gang was detained with 945 grams more of cocaine with carfentanil, fractionated, packaged and ready to sell.
“Mameluco” has been in prison since August 2011 in the Rawson federal prison, where he is serving a 27-year sentence for money laundering and drug trafficking. After the tragedy at Puerta 8, federal judge Alicia Vence sent “Mameluco” and his band to trial for the “marketing of narcotics that was carried out on February 1 and 2 by members of the organization”, due to the “power of disposition that they had over 480 wrappers of pink or orange nylon with cocaine hydrochloride and carfentanil” and for also having “that same day of two nylon bags with 3346 nylon wrappers” of the same colors in a house in Loma Hermosa.
The danger of fentanyl
An expert from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) of the United States, a country where the substance represents a true social crisis, assured that the mixture of fentanyl with other drugs, such as cocaine, “causes dangerous risks” and that said synthetic opioid (50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times more powerful than morphine) It is usually used for “economic reasons”.
“Fentanyl can produce a powerful high in small amounts. Mixing it with other drugs poses dangerous risks. It is possible that drug users do not realize they are using fentanyl“explained DEA analyst Richard Candelaria in April of last year when participating in the First Internal Security Council, organized by the Ministry of National Security.
Candelaria highlighted that the opioid is usually mixed with cocaine for “economic reasons.” “It’s very simple, it’s for money. Opioids are very cheap. They cost 1,800 dollars per kilo in the United States. A kilo of cocaine in New York costs 35 thousand dollars,” summarized the DEA agent.
Regarding carfentanil, which is used to sedate elephants, experts say that “a very small dose can be lethal“, as occurred in the case of adulterated cocaine that more than a year and a half ago caused 24 deaths and at least 80 poisonings in the northwest area of Greater Buenos Aires.
