00:00...remove the entire dome of the Bonaerense police here in Mar del Plata from the Parliament.
00:05The chief is traveling, Villar, here to the city to make these changes
00:10because Mar del Plata was left out of the average number of homicides
00:14on the occasion of the robbery of the rest of the province of Buenos Aires
00:18in this January 2025, in what is going on this year.
00:21This is as a result of the murder yesterday in the hands of criminals
00:26of a 50-year-old shopkeeper, Cristian Velasquez,
00:31who yesterday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, was here in his kiosk,
00:36attending, as every day, when two criminals entered.
00:40They left their motorcycle here at the door.
00:43He tried to defend himself with pepper spray.
00:47One of them fired a shot that was fatal in his head
00:51and they escaped here through the Peralta Ramos area and went to the area
00:55that we already know. We were here last week, about eight blocks from here,
00:59in a warehouse, which was also an armed robbery,
01:04which was finally taken to the police station without hurting anyone.
01:08But well, unfortunately we have to tell you that we knew Cristian.
01:14Almost a year ago, in April, we were also here in the kiosk
01:20because, I don't know if you remember, Nora, but Cristian had been saved by a miracle.
01:25By a miracle by a boy. We are going to tell Mauchi what happened,
01:28but the truth is that this man comes with a lot of attempted robberies.
01:32Almost six, it seems to me, in the last time.
01:35And one was almost miraculous, that's why he took public state, right?
01:38Do we remember what had happened?
01:42Also, it was on April 15 last year.
01:45Also, in the afternoon, between noon and midday,
01:51two criminals entered that opportunity.
01:54Cristian also defended himself with pepper spray.
01:56They made two shots. One of them went straight to his head,
02:01but the chewing gum, the stand of chewing gum that they had here in the kiosk,
02:08they stopped. The bullet is more, a low-caliber weapon.
02:12The ammunition was left in the middle of the package.
02:16He saved his life in that opportunity with the chewing gum.
02:19Unfortunately, yesterday, he did not die with that luck.
02:23Adrián, why do you think the dome fell apart
02:27with just eight months of being in charge?
02:30Is it just because of this case or does it have to do with some other issues?
02:36Punctually, what transcended so far is what we just said, right?
02:39That Mar del Plata is out of the average of the other sectors of the province of Buenos Aires.
02:45The number of homicides in January 2025 fell in other parts of the province,
02:51but not in Mar del Plata.
02:53That transcended, it is information from the last moment.
02:55The head of La Bonaerense, Javier Villar, is traveling to move to the dome.
03:02A dome that, as you said, after a scandal in the middle of last year,
03:06here in Mar del Plata, and also with waves of insecurity,
03:10they ended up removing the one that was there.
03:12He had assumed the new one, but well, now to start shuffling again
03:17with this murder of Cristian.
03:22This is a poster that some neighbors who are preparing to make a march,
03:28a peaceful concentration, placed moments ago.
03:31The poster says, yes, four and a half approximately.
03:35Enough insecurity, zero tolerance to crime.
03:38Take out to the streets all the armed and security forces.
03:42While you think about the political cost of this decision,
03:46they kill us like dogs.
03:48This was placed by a woman, a neighbor here of Cristian.
03:53Let's see this other one.
03:55Mauchi, if you agree, let's read this other one.
03:57Dear neighbors, about the terrible episode that occurred yesterday,
03:59the attempted robbery that ended with the murder of Cristian.
04:02Javier Velazquez, who was in charge of a small business
04:05in José Peralta Ramos and Hinala.
04:08We want to add you to the call, right?
04:12Yes, yes, I'm at 4.30 in the afternoon.
04:15Adrián, is it already named who is going to replace Villar?
04:22No, not at the moment.
04:24Not at the moment.
04:25As I told you, this is happening now.
04:28It's happening now.
04:31Let's reiterate the information, if you agree.
04:33Luis Senra, who was the head of the department, will replace him.
04:37Javier Villar is the head of the Bonaerense police,
04:39who is arriving in Mar del Plata.
04:41There will be no changes in the EDI.
04:43It's very important.
04:45Look, here we are showing the image.
04:47This is a monitored space.
04:49A year and a half ago we were with Cristian here in his kiosk
04:53and he told us what had happened.
04:55I would like to be able to share it
04:57As always when we come to Los Móviles
04:59we are chatting with the victims
05:01and the truth is that we spend a moment
05:03that we always remember
05:05because he was very kind.
05:07Very kind of Cristian.
05:09So I would like to remember that note.
05:11We will remember it then.
05:13Cristian spoke when he could be saved
05:15from a robbery
05:17and this time he could not tell this story.
05:19We see it and we have it.
05:21We share it.
05:23Let's see if we have it out there.
05:26I'm going to talk to Adrián Mauchi
05:28with this kiosk owner
05:30who after six attempts
05:32finally ends up finding death.
05:34We see it.
05:36Two people, two men
05:38entered
05:40one more or less 30, 35 years old
05:42the other 20, 24 years old
05:44they came to rob me
05:46one with a revolver
05:48in his hand pointing at me
05:50asking for money
05:52and well the other one got on the side
05:55to scare me too
05:57and luckily I have the pepper spray
05:59nearby
06:01when they give me the first impact
06:03which is that one
06:05because I didn't answer for the money
06:07I grab the pepper spray
06:09and I throw it
06:11the scare of the impact
06:13and I also throw the one that was here
06:15and they start running.
06:17The impact hits a gum?
06:19Of course, it goes through the plastic
06:21of the support of the gum
06:24that we have there
06:26And the other person
06:28gives you another shot?
06:30The same person who gave me that shot
06:32when he is leaving
06:34points at me again and shoots me
06:36but with the effect of the tear gas.
06:38What generates this, Cristian?
06:40A lot of impotence, a lot of anger
06:42because it's not the first time it happens to me
06:44this is the sixth robbery attempt
06:46that we are suffering in the year
06:48and the truth is that it is not good
06:50we don't feel safe
06:53we are alone
06:55Security!
06:57Security!
06:59Security!
07:01Well, there we saw the claim of security
07:03the kiosk owner
07:05who at that opportunity
07:07had been able through a gum
07:09pepper spray
07:11tell what had happened
07:13and this time he could not
07:15we have information
07:17it is an emergency
07:19at the last minute
07:21we are going to give more information
07:23the head of the police
07:25Nora!
07:27Yes, Adrián
07:29let me finish
07:31when we finish with this
07:33I would like to complete
07:35because there is a detainee
07:37there is a detainee
07:39you already tell me everything
07:41but first we are going to give this information
07:43that it is the last moment
07:45the head of the police
07:47General Javier Villar
07:50will come this afternoon
07:52to remove all the higher command
07:54of the force
07:56and not only for the crime
07:58of Cristian Velasquez
08:00of this kiosk owner
08:02but also for not being satisfied
08:04with the criminal dynamics
08:06that developed in the last time
08:08this is confirmed by official sources
08:10of the Ministry of Security
08:12that indicated
08:14also that the measures
08:16will affect the major commissioner
08:19the entire security structure
08:21of that jurisdiction
08:23while for the moment
08:25the head of the DDI
08:27will not be removed
08:29the major commissioner
08:31Juan Lucero
08:33who is the main reference
08:35in the area of the investigation
08:37we reiterate then
08:39remove all the dome
08:41of the Bonaerense police
08:43in Mar del Plata
08:46Goza, do you have more information?
08:48Yes, here in images
08:50we are going to show
08:52the person who will replace
08:54the outgoing Luis Senra
08:56is
08:58Edgardo Andres Vulcano
09:00who has experience
09:02precisely
09:04in the city of Mar del Plata
09:06he will be the new head of department
09:08in 2021 he had assumed
09:10as chief of police
09:12General Alvarado
09:15General Alvarado is the municipality of Lindero
09:17General Porredon
09:19is Miramar
09:21and now he will return
09:23to the city of Mar del Plata
09:25I pass
09:27his background
09:29he was in charge of the first police station
09:31and served as head of the department
09:33of foreign affairs, migration and cult
09:35of the province's police
09:37and goes in line with the restructuring
09:39they want to do
09:41of that department
09:43Yes, of course
09:45Edgardo Andres Vulcano
09:47this man then
09:49is the man who is going to replace
09:51we reiterate then
09:53last minute information
09:55in A24 they removed
09:57the Bonaerense police
09:59dome in Mar del Plata
10:01this impact
10:03was generated by the Velasquez crime
10:05served as a trigger
10:07this crime in a very complicated week
10:09as we are reporting
10:12after the episodes
10:14in Moreno
10:16for the murder of Luciano Aguilar
10:18but added to that
10:20the Minister of Security Javier Alonso
10:22did not agree with the situation
10:24is the information that comes to us
10:26of everything that has to do
10:28with this party of General Porredon
10:30where seven homicides are already counted
10:32in what goes from 2025
10:34a figure that annualized
10:36gives almost double
10:38of what has been happening
10:40in recent years
10:42the situation of Mar del Plata
10:44called attention because the numbers
10:46of homicides throughout the province
10:48in this first month
10:50of 2025
10:52would be better than in 2024
10:54according to a statistic
10:56last January
10:5896 murders were committed
11:00while this year
11:02were 87
11:04that's why it is believed that Mar del Plata
11:06came out of the average
11:08because the security management
11:10was not meeting
11:12the expected expectations
11:14then we reiterate a last-minute information
11:16a scoop that we give in A24
11:18remove
11:20the entire dome
11:22of the Bonaerense police
11:24in Mar del Plata
11:26we go with Adrián Mauchi
11:28who is in the place where
11:30he found death
11:32this kiosk that had already had
11:34six attempts
11:36of murder
11:38and finally found death
11:40Adrián
11:42let me say two things
11:44the first that today four and a half
11:46in a while the neighbors will be self-called
11:48the family and the owner
11:50of the kiosk
11:52they will not participate
11:54because precisely with his niece
11:56he made a tribute on social networks
11:58because Cristian was the soul
12:00of the parties
12:02Cristian was a poet
12:04always
12:06when a new job came
12:08he was a few years ago
12:10here in this kiosk
12:12he put on the shirt of the place
12:14a very brave person
12:16when we interviewed
12:18we could see him and talk to him
12:20he always went forward
12:22the family prefers not to participate
12:24in the march
12:26the neighbors will make a concentration
12:28here a respectful concentration
12:30the families do not want
12:32a question against the police
12:34a political question
12:36just something to remember
12:38and to ask for justice
12:40obviously
12:42and the other information we have
12:44is that they arrested
12:46one of the two involved
12:48in the robbery
12:50in the murder
12:52he surrendered
12:54at the request of the family
12:56of the murderer
12:58or one of the murderers
13:00the man named Nacho
13:02with background
13:04there was already a kind of
13:06operation Cerrojo
13:08yesterday afternoon
13:10because there are some images
13:12of the cameras of the Com
13:14who were following
13:16there is a very specific image
13:18in the area of Peralta Ramos
13:20and Fortunato Avenue of the square
13:22that we are here about 7 or 8 blocks
13:24that you see these criminals
13:26on a motorcycle
13:28Nacho surrendered
13:30he is at the disposal of justice
13:32and at this time it is intensely sought
13:34a man named
13:36El Huachin
13:38who has background
13:40he is sentenced to 6 years in prison
13:42for a violent robbery
13:44that happened in 2020
13:46we do not really know why he was free
13:48but at this time
13:50it is intensely sought
13:52and we understand that it would be
13:54the material author
13:56of Cristian Velasquez
13:58here in Mar del Plata
14:00we are in the area of Estadio Mundialista
14:02to locate ourselves
14:04Jacinto Peralta Ramos and Irala
14:06there we are seeing some images
14:08of the one who is detained
14:10and as you said
14:12he is looking for another person
14:14Huachin they tell him
14:16El Huachin if the name did not transcend
14:18but he has many background
14:20and is sentenced to 6 years in prison
14:22for a violent robbery
14:24that happened to a father and a son
14:26in 2020
14:28now we are going to listen
14:30in this case to the victim
14:32this man
14:34that some may say
14:36he should not have used
14:38pepper spray
14:40he should not have confronted
14:42the criminals who are armed
14:44he already had a warning
14:46the reality is that this is the moment
14:48that they transfer to the detainee
14:50this was last night
14:52to the DDI
14:54in the direction of investigations
14:56in this case
14:58the delegation of the city of Feliz
15:00of the city of Mar del Plata
15:02but I wanted to say that the kiosk
15:04in this case
15:06had suffered
15:08as he said
15:106 attempts of robbery
15:12before
15:14this last fact
15:16that causes death
15:18just as you told
15:20in this case
15:22and practically nothing has been done
15:24because one says
15:26remove the dome
15:28but the truth
15:30removing the dome
15:32if there is not a
15:34political decision
15:36to counter
15:38really the crime
15:40is very complicated
15:44if the police
15:46can not act
15:48as it should act
15:50because politics
15:52prevents it
15:54it is very complicated
15:56change the dome
15:58change the minister
16:00security or whatever
16:02it is very difficult
16:04because this guy
16:06should have been arrested
16:08should have been arrested
16:10and was free
16:12as in so many other facts
16:14that we see
16:16precisely
16:18to justice
16:20to prosecutors and judges
16:22and I have information
16:24about the possible use
16:26of this
16:28we could say band
16:30of criminals
16:32because it turns out that this kiosk
16:34what it has is a system
16:36of charges
16:38and apparently they would be the same
16:40who were involved
16:42in other robberies
16:44similar to these kiosks
16:46that have payment centers
16:48we got the information
16:50that apparently
16:52what it does
16:54something that is very old
16:56but the call
16:58that distracts the police
17:00a false complaint
17:02with respect to a possible
17:04crash on the avenue
17:06and Peralta Ramos
17:08to distract
17:10the area
17:12what we have
17:14is one of the hypotheses
17:16to be able to give
17:18with the killer
17:20that is missing
17:22but that would be the mode of use
17:24especially to kiosks
17:26that have this system of charges
17:28to be able to steal
17:30and Montenegro who asks
17:32for tougher sentences
17:34he was a federal prosecutor
17:36so he has experience
17:38this is not tougher sentences
17:40if the criminal
17:42for a robbery
17:44has to go to prison for 9 years
17:46well, he has to go to prison for 9 years
17:488 years and more
17:50if you want
17:52but he has to be in prison
17:54the time he has to be in prison
17:56and if there is a
17:58if there is a reoccurrence of crime
18:00if he comes to steal, attempted robbery
18:02abuse of arms, cover-up
18:04and he has a pile of facts
18:06he has to go to prison
18:08not because
18:10he has a minor crime
18:12after having had 15
18:14he has to be free again
18:16because one day he kills
18:18so when one day he kills, it's too late
18:20more than they put him in prison for 15 years
18:22because there is already a person or two or three people
18:24who are dead
18:26there is no return, it is a firm hand
18:28and when there is in the province of Buenos Aires
18:30a system in which
18:32there is no interest
18:34to keep the prisoners
18:36for whatever reason
18:38it is very difficult
18:40the police go, chase, arrest
18:42put them in jail, released again
18:44again, the police go
18:46chase them, arrest them
18:48put them in jail, released again
18:50it is impossible, it is a chain that never ends
18:52and in the case of the kiosk
18:546 times they had robbed him before
18:56until they killed him
18:58and they had shot him
19:00how many times had they shot him
19:02inside the shop, Adriano?
19:04well, at least two
19:06the information we have
19:08obviously, the time we talked to him
19:10I understand that this would be
19:12the eighth time
19:14that they come to rob him
19:16in these two years
19:18that he came to work
19:20in the note, I agree
19:22I don't know if we have it, Noelia
19:24in that note he told
19:26that he had been robbed in April
19:28when he counted, right?
19:30then they would have robbed him twice more
19:32they would have tried to rob him six times
19:34six times
19:36from April
19:38to this part
19:40or from July to this part
19:42they would have robbed him
19:44or tried to rob him two more times
19:46with the eight times that Adriano counts
19:48let's listen again
19:50this man, think about something
19:52come here for a second
19:54think about something
19:56this person that you have already seen
19:58and now you will see her again
20:00and that was saved
20:02because a chewing gum box
20:04a chewing gum box
20:06that had these chewing gums
20:08hit and the bullet stayed
20:10the chewing gum box saved him
20:12and who is going to talk now
20:14is dead
20:16after eight times
20:18that they tried to rob him
20:20this person that you see again
20:22and that was saved, I repeat
20:24from dying last time
20:26a chewing gum box, because they shot him
20:28today he is dead
20:30listen to him
20:32two people
20:34two men
20:36one more or less 30
20:3835 years old
20:40the other 24 years
20:42they came to rob me
20:44one with a revolver
20:46pointing at me, asking me for money
20:48and well, the other one got on the side
20:50to scare me too
20:52and luckily
20:54I have the pepper spray nearby
20:56and when they give me the first impact
20:58because I didn't answer for the money
21:00I grab the pepper spray
21:02and I shoot
21:04the scare of the impact
21:06and I also shoot the one who was here
21:08and they start running
21:10the impact
21:12hits a chewing gum
21:14it goes through the plastic
21:16of the support
21:18of the chewing gum
21:20and it stays in the chewing gum box
21:22and another person
21:24the same person
21:26that gave that shot
21:28when he is leaving
21:30he points at me again and shoots me
21:32but with the effect of the tear gas
21:34what does this generate, Cristian?
21:36a lot of impotence
21:38a lot of anger
21:40because this is not the first time
21:42this is the sixth robbery attempt
21:44that we are suffering in the year
21:46and the truth is that it is not good
21:48we don't feel safe
21:50we are alone
21:52we don't feel safe
21:54we are alone
21:56do you know that they shot him in the forehead?
21:58this man that you were listening to
22:00and you were just seeing
22:02today you know what? it's too late
22:04change the dome
22:06give the weight to me
22:08it's too late again
22:10I say the judges of guarantees
22:12that
22:14guarantee the life of the criminals
22:16that release many of them
22:18because they are minor crimes
22:20but doctor, it has a lot of history
22:22the prosecutors themselves say it
22:24and the judges of guarantees
22:26doctor, look, I just studied it
22:28here are the antecedents
22:30it seems to me to release him
22:32well, but the conditions, the life
22:34this happened to this man
22:36a kiosk man
22:38he worked all day to earn the mango
22:40in the middle of the season
22:42again
22:44Montenegro said some phrases
22:46right?
22:48he spoke fundamentally
22:50of those who romanticize
22:52the criminal
22:54says this cannot happen
22:56there has to be a clear modification
22:58that we have been raising for a while
23:00in what has to do with the laws
23:02the reiteration
23:04the imputability
23:06and all issues that have to do with the hardness
23:08in the action
23:10harder penalties for criminals
23:12that do not enter through one door
23:14and leave through another
23:16in Montenegro
