One of the most wanted drug traffickers in Argentina, Gustavo Alejandro Bruzzone, was arrested in recent hours in the Buenos Aires locality of Haedo. The news was confirmed by the Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich, through her official account on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
The official emphasized that Bruzzone, a self-declared Macri supporter on social media, was considered "one of the ten most wanted drug traffickers in the country" and that his capture was carried out by the Narcotics Investigation Department of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA). The operation took place in Buenos Aires Province, where the accused had been a fugitive for almost two years.
A key figure in the Rosario-Dubái case
Bruzzone is linked to the so-called Rosario‑Dubái Operation, a high-profile case in which an attempt was made to export 1,600 kilograms (3,527 pounds) of cocaine hidden in animal feed bags, with Europe as the final destination. The investigation determined that the drugs left Rosario, traveled along the Paraná‑Paraguay Waterway, and were shipped through ports in the north of the country. The shipment had an estimated value of more than 60 million dollars.
