La policía argentina ha desmantelado una banda criminal internacional dedicada al robo y comercialización de celulares de alta gama. La banda, que operaba principalmente en las zonas de Once y Recoleta, había acumulado más de un millón de dólares en ganancias. Los teléfonos robados eran rastreados hasta la terminal de micros de Retiro, desde donde eran enviados a Paraguay y Brasil para su venta. En total, 19 personas han sido detenidas en relación con esta operación delictiva.

00:00a real criminal gang dedicated to the theft of cell phones you tell me a criminal gang dedicated
00:08to the theft of cell phones and what our graph says a million dollars had been raised thanks
00:18to the theft and commercialization of the phones they stole, do you remember when our colleague
00:26Gabriel Levinas was robbed in October of the phone and this one thanks to the geolocator began to send
00:32signals the signal of where it was located to him they steal it in the area of 11 if I'm not
00:40wrong it was a gang that attacked in 11 and recollects in the area of 11 it seems to me and they
00:43snatch it always looking for high-end cell phones from the last exit and in the possible iphone
00:51he when he has the geolocator begins to see that the cell phone was in the
00:59withdrawal micro terminal makes the complaint then he sees that it arrives that it passes through currents and that it passes through the north of
01:10our country current province current province thanks you are right current the
01:15north and ends or was actually going to clorinda formosa city limitrofe with
01:24paraguay in a little while an hour and a bit you are in the function well what happened he was
01:30intervened by the justice at that time it was a flagrant crime the cell phone was activated
01:36they gave him a ball they gave him intervention because they do not stop the micro
01:42you know that in these cases they do not give you a lot of cuts when you go with the geolocation they do not give you
01:46a police officer cannot activate the detention a judge has to give in this case the authorization
01:59what happened they stop the micro
02:02the man and the woman who had the cell phone in their power had 17 iphone more
02:13they stop them in the micro in the micro they were going to paraguay right now people busy that is why it is the
02:21million dollar band if how many phones and there is the answer they stole phones at ten hands
02:28I start an investigation between crossings of calls made by justice through the order of the
02:40national judge alejandra provitola and they begin to realize that they were not two criminals who
02:47were going with 17 cell phones 19 people involved in this band were processed some of them
02:57are already arrested illicit association theft put the names you want to this topic was a real
03:05crime they are already under the custody of the federal police a federal investigation because they
03:12intervene they were not only robberies in our capital city they also happened in other parts of
03:19our country but the objective was to return them to trade in these caves that everyone knows and
03:26that if you go and buy a cell phone there, you are an accomplice of theft, you are not wrong, you pay 60% 50%
03:34of what a new cell phone is worth in one of these caves, you have your hands stained with blood because
03:39these cell phones are stolen, you have no doubt now, sorry for the ignorance, but that cell phone
03:46sold in assumption is not cheaper as it is clear that cell phone stolen here if taken to assumption
03:54if in assumption it is not cheaper in what sense that cell phone of course because they sell them cheaper
04:01if it is clear to him it did not cost him the chorro no it is fine but it is not possible to sell more expensive
04:06but no no the question is simple it can not be sold here it is not sold more expensive than in Argentina here it is also
04:11sold of course here what we are talking about an international band because they also took the
04:16phones to Paraguay and Brazil of course but I say yes it is a business because the truth that
04:24there is a risk because they took 17 phones and you say to take 17 phones it seems that these
04:32were some pichi that carried 17 there are trips of 100 of 100 phones also but but I return to the
04:40question maybe there is not so much market but it seems to me that if you steal a cell phone in Paraguay
04:46you sell it in Argentina there you do business because here it is sold more expensive the air is very likely to see
04:54there is a technical question in the stolen cell phone in Argentina that is registered in Argentina
05:03with a line in Argentina, how can it be blocked, it is blocked by the email that the
05:07companies do when you take it out of the border, that is more complicated, you need an exorbitant
05:12that also does it in another country, then there is a logic, you do not have a criminal mentality
05:18if they took it and because they could not sell it and also because they saw it, they followed it with looking for my
05:26iphone, which is an application that they have for the iphone, but not everyone follows the route here
05:30because there was a journalist who was following the footprint, you realize what Carlos said,
05:35which is that they did not have much expertise as let's say cell phone thieves and this I insist
05:43all the security experts say one of the first things you have to have in your
05:47configured phone is to prevent it from putting it in airplane mode, because when you put it in airplane mode
05:53automatically what we were seeing on the screen a while ago, not the find my iphone, you can not
05:58find it anymore because it already loses all kinds of connection and it's over, it's blocked and you don't know the number, that's why it's still there
06:07now we are going to see the traceability but there is one more fact to add to what
06:13Gonza said, that's why these criminals steal your phone while you are using it, you have it in your
06:21pocket, it is more difficult for them to take it out because what they want is to have a phone unlocked
06:26for the moment in airplane mode, the first thing they do when they stole my phone I saw it clearly
06:30walking down the street sending a message to Mariano Chese who was writing to me, they take out my
06:37cell phone and I saw the boy very young when I don't even look back, he takes out my cell phone, he jumps
06:44on the motorcycle that was waiting for him and the first thing he does is put it in airplane mode so that it cannot be
06:50traced, all these can be traced, yes, they have one, it is more crackable, it can be broken more easily, the truth is that the android system is much more hackable
07:07than the apple, but look at you, thank you, but I also say for the people who activate it, sorry a
07:13little bit, put it in google, what you can do is find my phone and you give it access to
07:21be traced, but you have to give it access, it is easier maybe in the iphone but in google you can
07:26do it through google, we are going to see what we were saying just about what
07:31is the traceability of the phone, look at the route, look at this, he saw it in real time, one of the
07:38victims there took that on the 12th, not on the 14th, on the 14th, on the 14th, he sees it pass through, he goes out of retreat, on the 11th they
07:50steal it, then they see it in retreat, it goes out through Panamericana, route 9 to Zarate, exactly, long arm, and there the route, let's see, let's see the route again, through the map, there it is, it goes out of retreat, there it is, Panamericana, highway 9, Zarate, long arm, and route 11, the 11, the one that goes to Santa Fe,
08:20there is an 11 that goes through Paraná, through the province of Tres Ríos, I have this doubt, which is the one that goes close to the Uruguay, to the Uruguay river, the 12 and the 14, the 12 goes through the middle and the 14 goes through the one next to the river, and the 11 comes from this side, well, he followed the entire route of the phone when they are intercepted, a few kilometers before arriving in Clorinda, which is, and they got off the bus and they didn't, bye, right, Genate, bye my money, look at you,
08:4919 people, it impacts the number of cell phones, now they are going to see, look, men, women, those who were going to Formosa were a man and a woman, here you have all the detainees, 19 people, illicit association the first time, you see, all this is the necessary tools to open the phones,
09:10the 11 goes in a piece, and then follows the 12, the 12 is the one that goes close to the Paraná river, the 14 is the one that goes through the Uruguay river, the 14 is the one that goes through the Uruguay river, and the 12 is the one that goes through the Uruguay river, and you go to the corner,
09:32the photo that you brought here, Carlos, you can see perfectly that they are cell phones of different brands and models, there you have high-end cell phones, mid-range cell phones, and some that are almost disposable, we also saw computers, look, we never lack the machine to count money, all these tools are to burst the phone,
09:56Carlos, we are missing an important topic, because if you do it legally, it is cheaper, for example, I know a person who is dedicated to design and had the cell phone that folds, you see, I don't remember what the model is called, he had the cell phone that folds, they stole it, it was more expensive for him to buy it here than to pay for a plane, two nights in a hotel and buy the cell phone in Paraguay,
10:26what he needed to buy the cell phone here, he paid for all that, a weekend in Paraguay, it is not that it is a weekend in the Mediterranean, but a weekend in Paraguay and he brought the cell phone, now, this logic that is the opposite of what he talks about is the porosity of the Argentine borders,
10:47there are places where there is no customs, there are places where you cross a river walking and you cross, there are dry borders, there are places where a raft passes from Argentina to Brazil or from Argentina to Paraguay as if nothing,
11:07there are places where certain owners have bought private properties that you enter through one door in one country and leave through the other door in the other, in Minigoyen, for example, in Misiones, today they counted in DDM, one of the camps that Farinio had bought, for example, was with Cordillera, Limítrofe with Chile, and there is going to be a police station, customs, prefecture, nothing
11:33What can happen, I quote your question, what can happen is that they restore it to its original state, they chip it, of course, then they sell it much more expensive, that is why it would be sold in Paraguay and not here
11:47Carlitos, you wanted to round up with something
11:49Yes, there were four phases in this stage of delinquents, the robbery, taken to sell, disarm it to sell the parts, and finally, if none of that could be done, take it to the north of our country to try this circuit again
