This morning, General Jorge Rojas, acting Chief of the Narcotics Investigation Unit, affirmed that the fugitives have not crossed any international borders. He added that arrangements are being made with law enforcement officials of Argentina, Perú and Bolivia to coordinate investigations in the case that the criminals do manage to enter another country.

The fugitives are identified as Felipe Mendoza Rojas and Ramón Córdova Olave. According to General Rojas, Córdova is the one who has the financial means to flee the country, “he owns mechanic shops, cars, summer homes, boats and motorcycles, all of illicit origin and part of the reason why he is wanted by police”.
