, with yachts and houses in Nordelta. Reyes is a fugitive, designated as the alleged leader of the gang.

The cause, in charge of the federal judge of February 3 Juan Manuel Culotta, is in secret synthesis since last Thursday, after the raids in the city-city of Tigre. In the investigation, the prosecution is represented by the federal prosecutor Paul Starc.

"With the conduct of the investigation, various pieces of evidence were gathered that allow, on today's date, to presume that Kings would run the pyramid of an organization intended for drug trafficking," according to the record. judicial.

The case began in October 2016 after an anonymous call received by San Miguel's subdelegation of investigative authorities on drug trafficking and organized crime from the Buenos Aires police. In the complaint, it was found that Reyes and another person, known as Pelado, had distributed cocaine and "pills". [droga sintética] in San Martín. In the communication, the plaintiff indicated an address to Olivos, Vicente López, where would have inhabited the accused, chief of the band.

After two and a half years of investigations, last Friday, the Minister of Security of Buenos Aires, Cristian Ritondo; the head of the provincial security forces, general commissioner Fabián Perroni, and the federal prosecutor Starc, among other officials, presented to Tigray the so-called Reyes del Norte operation: 30 raids, arrest of 16 suspects, seizure of luxury cars, a yacht, sequestration of money and drugs (cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, LSD and crystal, highly addictive methamphetamine).

Reyes was not found. An item of information attracted the attention of forensic investigators and set off the alarm signal. A few days before Judge Culotta signed the search warrants and the arrests, two lawyers appeared before the Federal Court of Tres de Febrero.

The survey had made significant progress last October. Moreover, at the end of the month, he was about to order the arrest of the suspects, but the searches and proceedings were stopped because Reyes had stopped going to the places where he had been detected.

"He's an elusive boy, he's constantly moving around and changing vehicles, he's still renting out temporary rentals and he may be moving every 15 days," said a detective who follows in the footsteps of the alleged gang leader. .

When the investigation lasted ten months, Reyes was mobilized into a Volkswagen Up. Shortly after, detectives found him at the helm of a Sirocco model, also Volkswagen branded, which was in the underground garage of a real estate complex in Beccar. in San Isidro.

L & # 39; hypothesis

One of the lines of work discussed during the case is that Reyes and one of his accomplices used the underground garage to "store drugs in different vehicles".

Last Friday, when Operation Reyes del Norte was presented and when there was reference to an imposing razed building in Las Caletas district of Nordelta, sources said that all operations of the criminal group were organized from this building.

In the house of Las Caletas lived two of the suspects arrested and accused of joining the group led by Reyes: Martin Asci and Paula Avanzi. They had moved last year and paid $ 77,000 in rent. It is here that police detectives discovered a moored yacht. They also attribute to this couple the possession of a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque and a BMW car.
