00:00In the last few hours it was known that the ex-secretary of tourism of Gariloche was shot in Brazil
00:06after entering a favela by mistake. The GPS took him to a favela, to Gastón Burlón and his family
00:11and he was attacked there in Río de Janeiro during a walk whose objective was to reach Christ the Redeemer.
00:17Of course, they were going to Corcovado, which is the hill known there in the Río de Janeiro area.
00:22What they commonly tell is that in this area, where unfortunately armed groups attacked Gastón Burlón,
00:27when he was 51 years old, they shot him in the chest and in the head.
00:29The reason? Just for having entered?
00:31Of course, it was a rental car, they were on vacation, then they were going to Búzios,
00:36there you see the Volkswagen Taos with Brazilian patent because they had rented it there.
00:40They say there are two tunnels, in that tunnel the GPS signal is lost and when the GPS signal is lost,
00:47when it leaves the first tunnel, it takes to the side of this favela, dangerous, without state,
00:52controlled by a command, the Red Command, one of the most important narco-criminals in the area of Brazil.
00:59Directly, they try to assault him and torture him.
01:01Today he is in a very serious state, there is a debate between life and death.
01:06He received shots in the chest, in the head, he is very serious.
01:09Yes, there we see the children, the family, who was injured, the woman is also an official in the area of Salta.
01:14A GPS error, it was regrettable, but I was receiving some information that in recent weeks,
01:21the homicides and the attacks were recruited in that area.
01:26An area that at some point had been controlled by the presence of the army,
01:31which has that possibility in Brazil, to intervene in the issue of narco-criminals and the military police.
01:37Brazil has different police, one much more militarized, something that in Argentina would come in handy,
01:42especially for these narco gangs that take people's lives just because.
01:47Well, today the investigation is underway, they are trying to deal with these criminals,
01:51but the most important thing is the health of this former official,
01:56currently head of the Argentine Chamber of Tourism and Oriental Affairs.
01:59Nadia, his wife and children, according to the latest report, were found unharmed.
02:03They were in a police station carrying out the corresponding procedures.
02:07This was in the Morro Dos Prazeres, where they attacked him directly, they did not give him a chance.
02:13We are going to talk to Carla Charandini, you know her, our colleague from Bariloche.
02:18The truth is, Carla, we are very moved by this news.
02:22Did you know Burlón?
02:28Commander Guille, well, yes, I knew him, I knew the official of this organization,
02:33who, as they said, is the former secretary of the Argentine Chamber of Tourism and the current president of the Argentine Chamber of Tourism.
02:40The city of Guille is really moved by this news,
02:45which, well, also as you just said, this happened yesterday.
02:49The city was paralyzed precisely because, well, very recently,
02:53he finished his term and was just starting in the Chamber of Students.
02:58Well, as you said, he was on vacation with the current Secretary of Tourism of Salta, Nadia Loza.
03:06They met with the children of Gastón, precisely in a Volkswagen Taos,
03:11which was apparently heading to Christ the Redeemer, and well,
03:14erroneously, his GPS would have directed him to this favela, Morro Dos Prazeres,
03:20which is located specifically in Santa Teresa,
03:24and is dominated, let's say, by the Bermejo Command, which is the most powerful criminal organization in Carioca,
03:30where, well, apparently it is still under investigation,
03:33because, well, as you said, it is not known exactly why they shot him.
03:39Let's see, it is known that it was in the end,
03:41it was transcended at one point yesterday that there had been two shots.
03:45At this moment, well, we know that it was a shot that came in and came out precisely from his head.
03:50He has been attended to since yesterday and double operated at the São Xavier Municipal Hospital,
03:56after being rescued by the military police that operates in that place.
04:02And really, well, let's see, they are very decisive moments, he is in a serious state of health.
04:07At this moment, well, all his family members are going to the place
04:12to contain his children and his current partner.
04:15No, sure, it is really dramatic, because these are issues ...
04:18Let's see, there is a debate between life and death.
04:21Look, I want to share with you, through social networks, Daniel Scioli,
04:27the editor of Turismo, said that given the innumerable number of inquiries
04:30that have come to us about the terrible event that happened to Gaston Burlon in Rio de Janeiro,
04:34I want to inform you that I have been in contact with his family from the first moment,
04:37particularly with his partner, Nadia Loza,
04:39Secretary of Tourism of Salta, to provide all the necessary assistance and care in Brazil.
04:45Gaston was heading to Cristo Redentor with his children and Nadia,
04:49and the navigator sent them through a sector of Morro dos Prazeres,
04:52a favela where they crossed with an ambush that ended with several shots and one went through his skull.
04:59After the delay in the arrival of an ambulance,
05:02attention to this, because it is not easy to get to these places dominated by these narcos,
05:05who have a parastatal organization,
05:08they transferred him to the South Saguiar hospital,
05:11where the evaluation led to an operation of 5 hours,
05:14and they are waiting for the evaluation of the first 48 hours, which are crucial.
05:18This morning the doctors reported that he is stable,
05:21nobody came to see him in the intensive care room.
05:26I have kept informed Governor Sáenz and the tourist sector through the president of ACAT, Gustavo Ani,
05:33we will continue to pay attention to Gaston's evolution in these difficult circumstances.
05:38The rescue is done by the fire department,
05:40some Brazilian media say, ambulances do not enter.
05:43A very common issue here is the issue of cameras installed in the neighbors,
05:48especially in hot areas,
05:50there are even emergency neighborhoods where neighbors also install cameras.
05:53There is such a control of the narco in the state or in the city,
05:57that the neighbors practically give plenty to the narcos,
06:02and in itself they do not take any reprisal behavior,
06:05the area is handled by them.
06:07The issue of investigation is also becoming very difficult,
06:10because of how intricate the area of a favela is.
06:13We are used to the emergency neighborhoods of here in Argentina,
06:16which are all flat, the favelas are up,
06:19and there are alleys that are practically difficult to access,
06:23if the army does not enter, no one enters.
06:26And we also understand that they did not give him the opportunity,
06:30they shot directly,
06:32Boulogne loses control of the vehicle,
06:34trying to evade a situation that he already saw dangerous,
06:37hence these wounds.
06:40Carla, I think it is information that you also share in Bariloche.
06:44Yes, totally, we even have images,
06:49you can surely see in the images that the car is crashed,
06:52so that is supposed,
06:54the images are very shocking,
06:57precisely because the family, apparently,
06:59comes out of this car that has crashed,
07:01and you really see it,
07:02an athlete from here in the city,
07:05who also sees him very agitated,
07:07so he lives in really very sad hours,
07:10because well, he is part of the city,
07:12he is part of Bariloche,
07:13and well, we are waiting to see this evolution,
07:16and to see how the police investigation also unfolds, right?
07:19No, sure, there we see how the car was,
07:23and one also assumes that it is very difficult
07:27for a third party to help you in this context,
07:30where the Red Command commands.
07:31Of course, in that sense,
07:32and what we are seeing is the arrival of the military police officers,
07:37in Brazil it is like here,
07:38you have municipal police,
07:40you have state police,
07:42municipal police,
07:42which they call, well, it has a particular name,
07:47prefects, of the prefecture,
07:48they call that police,
07:49which is not the prefecture,
07:50but the municipalities,
07:52and the entrance to this area
07:53is only done by militarized police,
07:55but to a certain extent,
07:56because notice that he had not entered the favela,
08:00he had advanced, as we said,
08:01leaving the tunnel,
08:02he took a wrong turn,
08:04because the GPS was lost,
08:06and that is also a fairly serious failure,
08:08in terms of the lack of some kind of alert signaling,
08:11by the police forces,
08:13taking into account that they are areas
08:14absolutely handled by crime,
08:16something that in Argentina,
08:18luckily, we are still not seeing.
08:20For now, for now,
08:22but here there are also places
08:24where you can make a mistake on a bridge,
08:26not only on marginal schedules, right?
08:29Yes, the GPS can take you to very complicated places,
08:32if you do not know,
08:33several times it happens to you, right?
08:35Let's see, the GPS is made so that you save time,
08:37streets that are cut, etc.,
08:39but some already,
08:42some say in the context of stigmatization,
08:45they do not want to put it as additional information,
08:48but some already warn you of dangerous places,
08:51places with a history of danger.
08:53Sure, the user comment,
08:56or the same system that points you out.
08:58Because the algorithm is that,
08:59where there were many facts,
09:01with recurrence,
09:02informed, well,
09:03they help the application itself,
09:05so that you can say this,
09:07because if you don't send to death a lot of people,
09:09as it happened here.
09:10The investigation is being done,
09:12they tell me,
09:13a special crime delegation
09:15called the Special Delegation of Support to Tourism, DEAT,
09:18it is called,
09:19which is obviously in charge of
09:21everything that has to do with situations related to tourism,
09:23because it is so common in Brazil,
09:25the theft of tourists,
09:26is obviously the level of tourism that Brazil receives,
09:28it is not the one that Argentina receives,
09:30that's why they have a special police delegation
09:32to investigate this case,
09:34but also what they give me is,
09:37not many people dare to go up to Morro,
09:41which is the Corcovado,
09:43as they call it,
09:43to Cristo Redentor,
09:44but they hire,
09:45you see, they go.
09:46Exactly.
09:47They know where to go up,
09:48it's very complicated,
09:49what we did,
09:50it's very serpented,
09:52very vertical,
09:53you enter through beautiful neighborhoods,
09:55but if you deviate,
09:57you go through what happened to Gastón.
10:01Carlita,
10:02do you have family there in Bariloche,
10:04in Burlón?
10:07Yes, Gastón Burlón has a family,
10:09his children were with him at that time,
10:13that's why part of his family is also traveling
10:16at this time of the year,
10:17they will surely be there to support him,
10:19support him,
10:20and also his partner,
10:22they are really going through a tremendous moment
10:24in these last hours.
10:26No, no, it's terrible, it's terrible,
10:27I imagine how he must have fallen there,
10:28because he represented Bariloche,
10:32I say,
10:33regrettable,
10:34regrettable,
10:35and to take into account
10:36that this feels like a precedent,
10:39because you fall in these places
10:41and you don't have opportunities.
10:42Of course, but they are situations of no return
10:44for the state, Guille,
10:45when you let the narco
10:47take the territory,
10:50if there is no situation,
10:52and it is the reality of Colombia too,
10:53it is impossible,
10:55if you don't have a situation of war,
10:56how do you recover that territory?
10:59We in Argentina are in time
11:01to avoid that situation.
11:02Rosario hit the stick,
11:05because here a political determination was taken
11:07that today is giving results,
11:09but we say,
11:10be careful, because what is disjointed
11:12goes to different places,
11:13and fundamentally we already have facts
11:14in the province of Buenos Aires,
11:16in the urban area,
11:17let's not start to ignore this,
11:18as happens with the issue of insecurity,
11:20because if not,
11:21many people are going to pay for this,
11:23many who are wrong on the way
11:25and fall in this type of place.
11:26At the same time,
11:27within the neighborhoods
11:30that the narco rules,
11:31these robbery robberies
11:34because the narco also has his own police
11:37and avoids,
11:38the state gives him health,
11:39it even gives food,
11:41the narco to the neighborhoods themselves,
11:43and they also have controlled the situation
11:44of security so that it does not fall apart,
11:46this is evidently what they told me
11:48at the beginning,
11:48which draws a lot of attention,
11:50a series of robberies and crimes
11:51that are taking place in the area,
11:53it may also be that there is
11:55that there is already an internal dispute
11:57between the bands
11:58and territorial control begins to be lost,
12:01when the state is not there,
12:02these things obviously happen,
12:04but all this is a matter of investigation.
12:05Guille, allow me to add something to you,
12:10that above, well, they said
12:11that this was a favela
12:12that was pacified,
12:15but as they also just said,
12:16it is that many more shots were heard
12:19in the area and much more crime
12:22and also the narcomenudeo
12:23that is always present, right?
12:25Sure, well, we will see
12:27what is the evolution of Burlon,
12:29and we will communicate again.
12:31Thank you very much
12:31for this contact from Bariloche.
