Drug dealers know they can steal money, drugs or cars. These losses are considered “hazards of the workplace” and are not a cause for great concern, knowing that recovery is a matter of time. And that “sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.” What really hurts them is when the police take away their phones and notebooks. Because this creates new research.
René “El Brujo” Ungaro is the leader of a second-line organization in the drug trafficking world in Rosario. Last December, Argentine Federal Police (PFA) agents searched his cell in Unit 6 of Rawson in Chubut as part of an investigation into the shooting at the Federal Courthouse in Rosario. The investigators found a name among his notes: Marlene Roldán (26), along with a telephone number.
The Bajo Paraná Prefectural Criminal Investigation and Investigation Delegation listened to her and investigated her for ten months. She was arrested on Thursday along with her sister Yamila (24). The procedure included raids on Ungaro’s cells in Marcos Paz (his new place of detention), to which the gang would respond, as well as on the cells of a third brother Roldán and his partner, prisoners in Coronda prison.
Together with Yamila they found David Medina, her partner, one of the 16 escapees from the Granadero Baigorria police station. He had been on the run since September 2nd. The gang is accused of running bunkers, shooting, extorting dealers and seizing houses for the drug trade.
“I really want to go out and kill people…” Marlene was heard saying in one of the messages. In another, she tells Marcelo Roldán, her imprisoned brother, a scene: She says she went armed looking for a woman. “I didn’t kill her because Yamila (her other sister) stopped me. The girl had a baby in her arms and told me not to hit it…”
The hearing advanced the ongoing investigation and the Federal Prosecutor’s Office 1, led by Javier Arzubi Calvo, concluded that there was a risk in continuing the tasks. It was necessary to “carry out a raid now” to prevent the possible murder of the woman they had named as a listener. However, the Roldán sisters were granted house arrest 24 hours after their arrest. Because they are single mothers of small children, because they have no criminal record and because no drugs or weapons were found in their homes. The only thing confiscated from Marlene’s house was 25 pieces of 9-millimeter ammunition.
Marlene drove an Ecosport van. The owner is believed to be René “el Brujo” Ungaro, a drug lord from Rosario.
“They don’t have a job, they don’t have access to contracts or plans and they have hired private lawyers. Marlene was traveling in a Ford Ecosport truck and is being defended by a private lawyer. “Where does the money come from?” asks a judicial source with access to the investigation. outraged.
Marlene would be what is known in drug trafficking jargon as a “secretary.” In his case he is responding to René Ungaro. Those who fulfill this role are dedicated to transmitting the boss’s orders and delivering medicines, finding “shooters” to extort deals, exchanging pesos for dollars, among other tasks. Ungaro previously had one of his nieces as his “secretary.” He replaced her with Marlene. Ungaro would have provided Marlene with the Ecosport to carry out her orders. His sister Yamila was supposed to be a kind of partner in his work.
In Rosario the phenomenon of usurpation is widespread. So much so that there are houses that are constantly being usurped by various gangs. Marlene’s gang shot one in Empalme Graneros, northwest of the city. The drug gang that ran it abandoned it out of fear and it was occupied by its new “owners”.
Yanina and Marlene Roldan, sisters from Rosario, were arrested for being members of a drug gang.
The house was searched and 80 doses of cocaine and 200,000 pesos were seized. From there the investigators took two young men with them. “Working with bombs” is popular in bunkers. Each “bomb” contains 50 or 100 doses of cocaine. Drug dealers know that they can be attacked or robbed at any time. That’s why they never have more than one “bomb” in their possession.
In another eavesdropping conversation, the male Roldán tells Marlene about his interest in gaining access to cocaine on the market. Not in prison, but outside. “Let me talk to the boss…” Marlene replies. Investigators believe he was referring to Ungaro, who was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the crime committed in 2010 by Roberto “Pimpi” Caminos, the former leader of Newell’s fans. During his imprisonment he was sentenced again: 12 years for leading a drug gang.
Marlene was grounded 24 hours after her arrest, as was her sister Yamila.
Now, at home, Marlene will definitely resume communication.
