During the trial, Freite Guede claimed to be originally from Barquisimeto and said he arrived in Peru on March 5. However, the evidence collected by the police supplemented the statement of the Colonel Victor Revorenorevealed strong ties to a transnational organized crime network. The investigation revealed that the young woman acted in coordination with other people who had already been identified, thereby strengthening the criminal network.
The operation allowed the capture of Freite Guede and Rivera Martínez in a building where various firearms were hidden. The Mini-Uzi was one of the most important items confiscated, along with ready-to-use weapons and ammunition. The troops also found documents and devices confirming active cooperation between foreign and Peruvian gangs.
