00:00In vivo is Cristian Balbo, in Flores, Chris, you're on air.
00:07Facundo Marina, mega-operative, unprecedented here in the Porteño neighborhood of Flores,
00:12to evict 5,000 seamstresses.
00:15This started at 2 in the morning, more than 10 hours of operation,
00:19with 550 officers, inspectors, police of the city.
00:23Something also unpublished, what they have done in the area,
00:27there are 12 apples in total that were completely surrounded,
00:31which covers Avenida Avellaneda, Avenida Nazca,
00:35also Venancio Flores and Campana.
00:38Notice that in this whole area they have closed all the shops,
00:42they are all with low prices, there are 50 fillings,
00:45and here, in the box of this truck, is part of what they have kidnapped,
00:49they are purses with precincts.
00:51Much of this merchandise that they have kidnapped,
00:54they have withdrawn it, not only from the street,
00:57you know where also? From rented apartments,
01:00by the keepers themselves, where they locate the merchandise
01:03to prevent it from being kidnapped.
01:05Look at this valley, for example, on the other side there is a group of Senegalese
01:08who are here, on this side, most have stayed on the other.
01:11Supposedly at 12 they were going to enable pedestrian traffic,
01:15in these 12 apples, but finally they gave up that, why?
01:18Because they entered here, in this filling they did here in El Guerra and Bogotá,
01:22Marina Facundo.
01:24In the basement they found a very large amount of merchandise,
01:28but also a very serious problem in terms of services.
01:31There was a lot of smell of gas, a lot of smell of gas inside the basement.
01:35They had to call the firefighters,
01:37and they are also waiting for them to arrive to solve the problem.
01:40Inside there was a lot of smell of gas in the basement.
01:42They have withdrawn all the merchandise from this place,
01:45but this also leaves evidence that they used these properties,
01:48in this case it has three floors, there are 12 apartments.
01:50How did they act? How is the modus operandi?
01:52Like in the 11, when the inspectors of the Governmental Agency of Control
01:56or the Superintendency of Investigations came,
01:58they grabbed the merchandise and put it inside these apartments.
02:00That's why there was previous intelligence here,
02:02that's why they arrived at 2 in the morning.
02:04In addition, you have chemical bathrooms,
02:06there are hydration stations for the inspectors.
02:08Look at this image, for example.
02:10Look at the police officers in the city.
02:12You have never seen this in this area, never.
02:14It is completely unprecedented.
02:16The Avenida Avellaneda is enabled for sale.
02:18There was talk of 550 cash from the city,
02:20more than 50 cash flows,
02:22and also the seizure of million-dollar figures
02:26in merchandise and cash.
02:32Exactly. Millions and millions of pesos in merchandise,
02:36all illegal merchandise.
02:38Here there is talk of unfair competition.
02:40This morning the head of the Porteño government was here,
02:42also the Minister of Security, Waldo Wolf,
02:44here giving a press conference.
02:46But what also impacts are these postcards.
02:48Look at the infantrymen.
02:50They had padlocked keys,
02:52where they had reliable information
02:54about the presence of illegal merchandise.
02:56They had no problem in cutting the padlocks,
02:58like these.
03:00Look, let's get closer here.
03:02I want to prepare...
03:04Chris, I want to prepare some of the videos
03:06of the raids with ambient sound
03:08to see what was experienced in the early morning.
03:10Because the neighborhood did not expect it,
03:12logically, like any raid.
03:14And it was very shocking.
03:16What is there? What do you show?
03:18Look.
03:20Look at this, for example.
03:22These are padlocks like these,
03:24which were cut during the whole early morning.
03:26Dozens of shops have been cut,
03:28and they have been put directly in the premises.
03:30Because many premises also served
03:32as a warehouse to store the merchandise
03:34of the maintenance workers.
03:36That is, they were fake shops.
03:38This is also what they determined.
03:40But if we get to the corner here,
03:42how is that idea of fake shops?
03:44Are they authorized?
03:46Obviously they were not authorized,
03:48but they were on the street.
03:50Wait a minute.
03:52Wait, I want to put on air a raid.
03:54I'm not going live from Cristian Balbo.
03:56This happened in the early morning.
03:58Listen.
04:12The number of policemen
04:14who were in the place
04:16and what was happening
04:18inside the galleries,
04:20very dark corners,
04:22where the police,
04:24more than 550,
04:26went to look for contraband material,
04:28brand falsification.
04:30And in this way they were
04:32finding corner by corner, right?
04:34Exactly.
04:36Well, we said more than 550
04:38cash involved,
04:40there is a figure
04:42that even indicates
04:44that they would have exceeded the hundred
04:46millions and millions of pesos
04:48in kidnapped merchandise.
04:50There we are seeing, well,
04:52merchandise, what we call trucha,
04:54of Atagama brands.
04:56Of course, of course.
04:58And then also some merchandise
05:00of alleged origin of smuggling
05:02or even theft.
05:04There we see the classic replicas
05:06of football shirts.
05:08And also the correlation of this
05:10is that more than 5,500
05:12smugglers got up,
05:14more than 5,500 smugglers
05:16who operated in the place,
05:18some in complicity or
05:20connivence with business,
05:22let's say legal,
05:24but they were also officers of deposits
05:26of this merchandise.
05:28Of course, we took everything out,
05:30said the police, we will see,
05:32there was obviously a lot of support
05:34from legal businesses,
05:36from ambulance vendors.
05:38Is there any tension, Cristian, in the area?
05:42Look, there was until
05:44an hour ago, precisely because
05:46they had said that at noon
05:48they were going to open the streets
05:50and there was already concern
05:52also by the merchants
05:54and obviously also by the smugglers.
05:56There were no detainees.
05:58Here intervened the non-criminal
06:00court against the missing
06:02number 22,
06:04who was in charge of all this procedure.
06:06It does not stop impacting me,
06:08you just saw the images,
06:10this was at dawn, how they entered
06:12departments, shops,
06:14the special forces of the police
06:16of the city.
06:18Look, there they have placed chemical bathrooms,
06:20for example.
06:22These chemical bathrooms were brought
06:24because they have been working
06:26in this sector for more than 10 hours.
06:28But it is an exclusion zone,
06:30at any time they will enable
06:32traffic.
06:34In Avenida Mellanea the shops are open,
06:36but here many of these shops
06:38were looted today.
06:40It is imminent that they enable
06:42traffic as last-minute information.
06:44So at any time,
06:46what is going to happen here is that they allow
06:48motorists and pedestrians to access
06:50and lift the pedestrians too.
06:52Perfect. Cristian, move comfortably.
06:54We are still connected.
06:56We make a brief impasse on this mobile.
06:58Move to the other point
07:00to show the differences
07:02in the street temperament
07:04after such an operation at dawn.
