In a joint task, members of the Anti-Drug Police Force (FPA) and the National Gendarmerie carried out 20 raids in three towns in the San Justo department: Brinkmann, Morteros and Porteña, as well as in other towns in Santa Fe such as Rafaela, Suardi, Frontera and Rosary beads. Also in prisons.

More than 200 FPA troops and 135 members of the National Gendarmerie took to the streets. The largest number of operations occurred in Mortars, reaching 16.

According to the first information, there would be three women and five men who were detained, who presented a request for arrest and would be members of a narcocriminal organization that Evelio “Yiyo” Ramallo would direct from the high security prison located in Rawson (Chubut).

In addition, there were operations in the Rafaela Alcaidía, one in the Rosario prison and another in the Ezeiza prison in Buenos Aires.

It was also reported that marijuana and cocaine were seized; also firearms, many of war; cash and elements that would be related to the fractionation and marketing of illicit substances.

Cocaine kidnapped in Morteros: the truck driver acknowledged his participation in the incident

Adrián Salcedo, head of the FPA, explained to the media this Friday that the investigation by the Federal Justice, where the force he directs had great collaboration, dates back to October 2023: “There were many hours of field work. In total there were 49 raids, all carried out by the Gendarmerie where the FPA put its teams to strengthen the operational processes to guarantee the physical safety of those who intervene, both police personnel, those raided and the neighbors.

He clarified that a narco-criminal structure with leaders based in Rafaela and in different prisons had been dismantled. Likewise, he said that places where drugs and money were stored were raided, in addition to dismantling “armed arms” of the gang that sold narcotics.

“In the area (of the San Justo department) about nine drug sales points were destroyed. We dismantled places where money and substances were hidden, and firearms were seized,” Salcedo explained.

When asked if this dismantled gang would have contact with “Los Monos”, a group that operates in the city of Rosario, Salcedo said: “We are not in a position to ensure it.”

Who is “Yiyo” Ramallo

Evelio “Yiyo” Ramallo is considered a dangerous drug trafficker

Until the middle of last year, he was serving a 23-year sentence, having been identified as an alleged mentor of several bloody events that occurred in the cities of Rafaela (Santa Fe) and Morteros (Córdoba).

His record ranges from drug trafficking – he would have links with the Rosario gang Los Monos – and attempted murders to the unusual attack in the Rafaela Courts on prosecutor Guillermo Loyola, whom he hit on the head with a trash can.

In August 2023, he was also sentenced to 20 years in prison for being considered co-responsible for the crime of qualified homicide of José Luis Cáceres (48) in Morteros. The crime occurred in 2022 and had implications for a territorial dispute over drug trafficking.
