Federal raid exposes illegal arms trafficking network

Federal police in Argentina dismantled a complex illegal arms trafficking network targeting criminal groups in the Greater Buenos Aires suburbs. The operation, which involved eleven simultaneous raids, seized more than 60 firearms, thousands of rounds, and reloading equipment. Among those detained was "Gordo Cuevas", a known armorer whose role was pivotal. The scheme used individuals with legitimate G2 licenses to mask illicit traffic. The court has ordered further searches, and authorities warn of potential additional arrests.
