The Municipality of Morón has dismissed an employee detained for being part of a gang involved in extorting money from a soldier, Rodrigo Gómez, who was found dead in Olivos.
The Municipality of Morón terminated the employment of Karen Yael Cufré, who was detained for her involvement in a criminal gang allegedly responsible for extorting the soldier Rodrigo Gómez. Gómez was discovered deceased on December 16 at a property in Olivos, and the gang reportedly used a dating app to solicit money from him, threatening to take legal action concerning a conversation he had with someone posing as a minor.
According to Damián Cardoso, the security secretary of Morón, the municipality acted immediately upon learning of Cufré's arrest, conducting a verification process before deciding on her dismissal. Cufré had been employed temporarily since September of the previous year at the local Monitoring Center. This swift decision reflects the serious nature of the allegations and the municipality's commitment to uphold public trust and integrity in its workforce.
The incident raises broader concerns about the safety and wellbeing of individuals in precarious situations, particularly military personnel, who can become targets for extortion. It also highlights the potential misuse of technology, such as dating applications, by criminals to exploit vulnerable individuals. The local community now faces the implications of this tragic event, which not only claims the life of a soldier but also reveals underlying issues of crime and safety in the municipality of Morón.
