Among his victims were the actors Arturo Puig and Selva Alemán, who died in September last year and suffered from it the robbery of his house in Belgrano. The gang also carried out attacks on properties Nunez, schoolboys, Coghlan, Villa Ortuzar, Villa Devoto And Park Village. With the money and jewelry stolen in the beating, The thieves bought four-wheel-drive trucks, traveled to the United States and rented apartments in Puerto Madero. The “criminal enterprise” was broken up and brought to justice. Now, Its members could be convicted, but they would serve the sentence at home..
This emerges from the abbreviated trial agreements presented by Attorney General Guillermo Morosi before the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) No. 18 requested that a prison sentence of six years be imposed on the eight suspects, but under house arrest.
This has been reported THE NATION qualified legal sources. The criminal organization was dissolved in August last year following an investigation by the criminal police Prosecutor José María CampagnoliYour work team and City police investigators. The national criminal and correctional judge Fabiana Galetti.
The court must now agree to the shortened negotiation agreement between the public prosecutor and the defense of the eight defendants, who are between 33 and 41 years old.
“The defendant, with his technical assistance, agrees to the terms of this agreement, which include the existence of the facts, the participation attributed to him therein, as described in the application for enhancement in these proceedings, as well as the legal qualification provided,” prosecutor Morosi said in each of the eight documents submitted to the court about the defendant.
“The work of this organization was aimed at committing crimes against property, people, administration and public opinion, while its interventions were documented for more than 100,000 years a dozen very serious assaults “The crimes were committed in the early hours of the morning in occupied private homes and share a remarkably common typology,” prosecutor Campagnoli had claimed in his request for a trial.
The first incident attributed to the criminal organization occurred on March 29 last year in the house of actors Puig and Alemán on Migueletes Street in Belgrano. The thieves broke into the property after cutting the bars on one of the windows.
The criminals took advantage of the fact that the property was empty. Puig, 78, was admitted to the Zabala Clinic after contracting dengue fever. His wife accompanied him. They confiscated two pairs of amber earrings with silver Swarovski stones, a chronograph watch, two Victorinox watches, a black Emporio Armani watch, a blue Tagheuer watch, $3,000, a gold-plated necklace, seven silver bracelets, a Belgiorno jewelry house necklace and clothing, and then fled in a Citroën C4 Cactus.
Almost a month later, on April 26, the band performed again. On this occasion, a house in Cramer, 2900, in Núñez, was chosen as the “target”. The thieves surprised the owner while he was sleeping. The victim was immobilized. “They covered her eyes and mouth with pillows, they tied her wrists with seals, they placed her hands behind her back and made her lie face down,” the court filing says. The thieves stole $1,200, 40,000 pesos, an Adidas backpack, a 12V industrial hammer drill with accessories, a rain jacket and a set of towels.
One morning the gang committed two robberies two hours apart. One of the robberies occurred in La Pampa at 4100 in Villa Ortuzar and in Delgado at 700 in Colegiales. From one of the houses, the criminals stole $6,800, an antique watch that the victim received as an inheritance, three Mexican gold coins and an Eros Rebel T100 camera, items worth $10,000.
“It is worth noting that the perpetrators (sic) use the same thing Procedure to carry out the various events under investigation, since they arrived at the appropriately selected houses in the early hours of the morning and did so with different vehicles whose license plates they changed during each of the events (they used license plates cloned or stolen from their original vehicles),” prosecutor Campagnoli explained at the time.
In one of the attacks, which occurred at dawn on June 1 last year in a house in the Villa Devoto neighborhood, the gang was killed He stole 13 million pesos that the victims had in a safe.
In another investigated incident that occurred on June 29 in Colegiales, the thieves, after overpowering the surprised victims in their sleep, shouted: “Where’s the money? Come on, we know you sold.”. They had information about a real estate transaction that had taken place 48 hours earlier. Jewelry and $70,000 were stolen.
“This criminal gang – which, due to the great efforts and precautions taken, could consist of even more members who have not yet been identified – had the prior consent of all its members and a clearly defined functional organization in charge of the preparation, investigation and reporting of the unjust acts and their commission, the occurrence of which has been proven,” explained Campagnoli when he called for the trial of the suspects.
During the investigation of the case and when requesting to bring the file to court, the representative of the State Ministry highlighted the work of the city police officers involved in the investigation.
“The truth is that the extensive investigative work carried out by the Community Investigations Division 13, the Rapid Support Section for Monitoring Interventions, the Image Extraction and Analysis Division and ultimately the Monitoring Department of the Buenos Aires City Police Department has allowed us to establish that – apart from the fact that they have different license plates – it has been proven that all these incidents are the result of the same criminal enterprise,” said Prosecutor Campagnoli.
One of the captured suspects identified in court records as Cristian Gabriel Robledorented an apartment in a building at 300 Petrona Eyle in Puerto Madero, for which he paid $2,040 for 90 days.
“For its part, the company Autopistas Urbanas SA reported that Cristian Gabriel Robledo added a Volkswagen Amarok truck, a Mercedes-Benz GLE vehicle, a Fiat 500, a BMW 135i and a Jeep Renegade sports truck to the Telepase system,” the court filing said.
Robledo also traveled to the USA with his partner in June last year. Each plane ticket cost $1,053. The couple left on June 19th and returned on July 5th.
The couple later traveled to Chile, according to immigration records viewed by investigators. Robledo’s girlfriend boarded a plane again in mid-July to fly to the United States.
It’s not the first time Robledo has been accused of robbing houses. In 2020 and 2021 THE NATION published an investigation by Vicente López’s then prosecutor Alejandro Musso (now head of the US tax unit specializing in cybercrime investigations). San Isidro Ministry of Justice) about a gang that broke into properties after posing as operators of a cable television company. This criminal organization had stolen 100 million pesos in ten robberies.
For Robledo, prosecutor Morosi requested a one-time prison sentence of seven years and two months, also under the modality of house arrest, since he had already been given a prison sentence of two years and ten months by the Buenos Aires TOC No. 18 in a previous case.
