For a robbery in Martínez, the father of two of the leaders of the fearsome Millón gang was arrested
Hugo David Castillo, father of two leaders of the Millón gang, was arrested in connection with a robbery in Martínez.
Hugo David Castillo, a 47-year-old man, has been arrested by the Buenos Aires police in connection with a robbery that took place in Martínez. Castillo is notable for being the father of two leaders of the notorious Millón gang, which has been linked to a series of violent crimes, including brutal assaults and two homicides in San Isidro. The arrest was made by the San Isidro Departmental Investigation Delegation officers in the La Cava area of Beccar.
Authorities have described the Millón gang as a significant threat due to their involvement in extreme violence during robberies, which reportedly included beating and even torturing victims. With the arrest of Castillo, investigators aim to dismantle parts of the gang's operations, as they suspect that he may have played a role in facilitating criminal activities for his sons, who are already well-known to law enforcement. The ongoing nature of this case suggests a broader enforcement effort to combat organized crime in the region.
This incident highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement when dealing with families that are deeply entrenched in criminal organizations. The arrest not only underscores the reach of the Millón gang but also poses questions about the socio-economic factors that contribute to such criminal behavior in Argentina. As the investigation continues, there may be further developments regarding the gang's activities and connections within the community and beyond.
