Since the beginning of the week, no one has heard from Federico “Morenita” Marín (33), convicted as one of the three capos who handled the Paraguayan marijuana traffic in the city of Itatí in Corrientes.
In the middle of the holiday XL Marín -who since the end of 2022 had house arrest- asked the Justice for permission to leave his house to go to a hospital for bleeding hemorrhoids. But it was all a lie, as it turned out later.
Relocated to a secret place in the Province of Buenos Aires with his wife and five children after declaring he was sorry, “Morenita” wore an electronic monitoring anklet, which is why it was detected that he had left his home.
The first alert was on Monday. The Electronic Surveillance Division notified the Federal Oral Court No. 3 of the Capital (which controls the execution of Marín’s sentence) that the drug trafficker had moved away from his house. Immediately afterwards, the TOF asked the Victim and Witness Protection Program to check the situation.
From the program they called Marín who answered the phone and told them that he had gone to a hospital to be treated for hemorrhoids. Since “Morenita” notified the Program when she returned to her house (and this was confirmed), things didn’t get any worse.
Something similar happened on Tuesday. Marín’s anklet revealed again that he had left his house. This time “Morenita” did not answer the phone. When he asked his wife where she had gone, she told them that she went back to the hospital. However, she went to the hospital that the family said and it was confirmed that she had never been treated there.
Marín’s testimony was key to prosecute and bring to trial two mayors, police officers, gendarmes, lawyers and the former federal judge of Corrientes Carlos Soto Dávila and two of his secretaries, the latter currently being tried in Corrientes.
Today Marín is a fugitive. an important one. He’s wanted by Interpol.
