Rubén Darío Peláez Almirón

Rubén Darío Peláez Almirón, 35, was recently detained by the National Police in San Lorenzo, Paraguay, for his alleged involvement in a series of high-profile robberies, including a failed armed assault on a cash transport vehicle that occurred on July 1. His capture stemmed from an investigation that linked him to a criminal organization responsible for stealing valuable goods, including electronics and pharmaceuticals, valued at approximately $1.5 million. Authorities believe Peláez Almirón played a crucial logistical role in the criminal operations, facilitating the movement and escape of perpetrators, and providing essential equipment and transport for subsequent heists.
