Vallejos and Medrano are identified as central cogs in the narco-criminal networks operating in the south of Rosario and continued to coordinate with imprisoned leaders like Cristian 'Pupito' Avalle, Carlos Damián 'Toro' Escobar, and Jonatan 'Jano' Fernández.

Meanwhile, the investigation confirmed that the criminal organizations were led from prison by Avalle, Escobar, and Fernández. Most of the raided homes belonged to relatives or partners of the leaders, who acted as network operators in the territory.

It was also detected the involvement of municipal employees from Rosario and Villa Gobernador Gálvez, and a police officer, under suspicion of complicity.

This morning, federal forces conducted 110 simultaneous raids in Rosario, Villa Gobernador Gálvez, and the prisons of Piñero, Ezeiza, and Marcos Paz. The operation began at 4 AM and ended at 10 AM, and the magnitude of the operation lay in simultaneously targeting three rival organizations.

As a result of the procedure, 33 people were arrested (including three minors), 20 fugitives identified with active arrest warrants, 6 firearms seized, drugs confiscated (cocaine and marijuana), precision scales and cutting material. Additionally, 19.5 million pesos and 2100 dollars in cash were seized.
