Raúl Martins: the incredible details of the fall of the most wanted Argentine spy

On Thursday, October 3 in the morning, something has changed for Raúl Martins. The expia felt spied, fenced, trapped. He was right: the detectives in the Mexican Attorney General's office were watching his truck, parked in the residential area of ​​Maralago, facing the beach. But he, former agent of the Billinghurst base of the former intelligence secretariat (exSIDE), managed to get lost. He did not go very far: the officers of the National Institute of Migration (MNI) held him at a checkpoint. Martins, 71 years old, wearing a black wig, reading glasses and a shirt sport. I wanted to cross in Belize.

Lorena Martins warned seven years ago: "The leak can happen in Belize." He was referring to his father, Martins, whom he described as a pimp in Buenos Aires and Cancun. It was not unthinkable to do so: Alberto Samid, the "king of the flesh", was hiding in this country this year.

Migrations informed Martins that Quintana Roo's Fifth District Court had decided in 2006 to expel him from Mexico, but the ex-spy has reprimanded police officers in 2014 he had obtained Mexican citizenship. Reinsurance to stay protected

The phones of the judicial authorities began to ring in Buenos Aires and in the Federal District. Migrations can only keep it until the confirmation of the information, investigators only had 24 hours for a judge to approve the international capture order for extradition purposes, signed by Federal Judge María Servini.

The magistrate had resolved on September 3, after six years of investigation, the arrest warrant Martins in Mexico with extradition to Argentina. Room I of the Federal Chamber of Buenos Aires allowed him to seek him in Cancun for "the exploitation of the practice of prostitution of others" in Buenos Aires.

Judge Servini sued Martins in July as the band leader who exploited women in at least ten brothels in the city of Buenos Aires, he seized for $ 10 million and joined the organization with his partner, Estela Percival, and his mother-in-law, Virginia Solis.

As a result, the magistrate departed with everything in record time: arrest warrant through the international police (Interpol); I urge to formally request extradition by diplomatic bag; and arrest warrant for the purpose of extradition through the diplomatic channel. And he added a detail: he asked all this not only for the crimes for which he pursued, but also for money laundering in order to avoid eventualities.

After the return trip between Argentina and Mexico, the authorities finally caught him on Thursday, October 3rd. However, since Friday, September 6, the Attorney General's Office (FGR) was following him when they stood guard at Residencial Maralago and they found a wedding. That day, however, he was not arrested because the local magistrate had not analyzed the request of his Argentine couple.

Martins turned 71 on September 19th. Maybe he's celebrated them in Kiss Night Club, one of the brothels that opened at Plaza Party Center, or in Spa barber, place of massages of the place of the Forum where women were also exploited. It was his last birthday published.

The ex-spy has tried everything to the end: still in the hands of Migrations from 13h (Mexican time) on Thursday, October 3, he used the WhatsApp until he has to deliver the phone. He was unsuccessful: on Friday he was transferred to the Federal District pending the extradition trial.
