La madrugada de este mi\u00e9rcoles 29 de octubre de 2025, la Polic\u00eda Nacional ejecut\u00f3 un megaoperativo simult\u00e1neo en Quito y Guayaquil que culmin\u00f3 con la detenci\u00f3n de 17 personas, entre ellas alias \u2018Gordo Arturo\u2019, se\u00f1alado como cabecilla de la organizaci\u00f3n criminal \u2018Los Lobos\u2019 en la capital.<\/p>\n
La acci\u00f3n policial, denominada \u201cOperaci\u00f3n Libertad 3\u201d, incluy\u00f3 29 allanamientos en distintos puntos del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
En Guayaquil, las intervenciones se concentraron en el Distrito Pascuales, mientras que en Quito se desarrollaron en los sectores de Eloy Alfaro, Eugenio Espejo, Calder\u00f3n, La Delicia y Quitumbe.<\/p>\n
El ministro del Interior, John Reimberg, confirm\u00f3 la captura de alias \u2018Gordo Arturo\u2019 y asegur\u00f3 que se trata de la desarticulaci\u00f3n completa de un brazo operativo de Los Lobos, grupo calificado como organizaci\u00f3n terrorista.<\/p>\n
El cabecilla registra siete detenciones previas por distintos delitos y frecuentes viajes a Colombia, los cuales est\u00e1n bajo investigaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Durante los allanamientos, los agentes hallaron armas, autos robados, dinero, joyas, licores, documentos, chalecos antibalas y un altar a la Santa Muerte, s\u00edmbolo com\u00fan entre grupos delictivos.<\/p>\n
Las autoridades vinculan a esta c\u00e9lula de Los Lobos con el robo de joyas valoradas en 300.000 d\u00f3lares en un centro comercial de Quito en noviembre de 2024, as\u00ed como con un intento de asalto a un veh\u00edculo blindado en abril de 2025, donde un sospechoso fue abatido.<\/p>\n
Adem\u00e1s, los detenidos son investigados por el secuestro y asesinato de un polic\u00eda ocurrido en julio de 2025, al norte de la capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
