Gianfranco Torres-Navarro, the leader of the Peruvian gang Los Killers, wanted for 23 murders in the South American country, was arrested this Wednesday in New York, in the United States, reports AP News.
Immigration agents also arrested Torres-Navarro’s girlfriend, Michelle Sol Ivanna Ortiz Ubillus, whom Peruvian authorities have described as the gangster’s right-hand woman.
According to Peruvian authorities, Torres-Navarro is the leader of a criminal organization known as Los Killers de Ventanilla y Callao, whose main business is extorting construction companies.
The gunman fled Peru after killing retired police officer Cesar Quegua Herrera in a San Miguel restaurant in March.
