One of the collectors from the extortionist gang was employed by a municipality: she was fired

Karen Cufré, a temporary employee of the Morón city monitoring center, has been arrested for her involvement with an extortionist gang linked to the suicide of an Argentine Army soldier.

Karen Cufré, an employee at the Central Monitoring Center in Morón, Argentina, was recently arrested under the orders of federal judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado. She is accused of being a collector for an extortionist gang involved in threatening individuals for financial gain. Cufré's arrest follows the tragic suicide of Rodrigo Gómez, an Argentine Army soldier, which has come to light as part of the investigation into the criminal organization.

Cufré had only recently started her temporary position last year before being implicated in this serious criminal case. The investigation by the Argentine Federal Police, specifically the Homicide Division, revealed that Cufré was actively engaging in extortion tactics alongside other accused members of the gang. This situation raises significant concerns about public safety and the integrity of municipal employees who may be engaging in illegal activities.

The implications of this case extend beyond the individuals involved, as it highlights a potentially systemic issue within local governance and law enforcement in Argentina. The connection between Cufré and another accused, Mauricio José Duarte, further complicates the situation, as the investigation into the broader network of the gang continues, aiming to eliminate threats posed to the citizens and prevent future tragedies like that of Gómez's suicide.
