La caída de la ‘Reina de los cielos’ peruana: hermana del capo del narcotráfico alias ‘El Lunarejo’

After a patient intelligence operation, the National Police captured Lupe Maritza Zevallos Gonzales, a former executive of the defunct airline Aerocontinente, in the San Borja district. She had been a fugitive since 2019. The arrest was made during a police operation carried out after several weeks of surveillance. Zevallos Gonzales was sentenced to 25 years in prison by the Specialized Court for Organized Crime and Corruption of Public Officials, after being found guilty of money laundering linked to drug trafficking. Since then, police authorities had been conducting an intensive search to locate and capture her. Due to her fugitive status, the Ministry of the Interior had included her in the Rewards Program, offering up to 100,000 soles for information leading to her capture. Finally, agents from the Criminal Investigation Directorate (Dirincri), in coordination with the Public Prosecutor's Office, located her in a house in San Borja. ALIAS “EL LUNAREJO” Investigations determined that the detainee participated in money laundering from drug trafficking, which was used to finance the airline Aerocontinente. This criminal scheme was linked to her brother, the drug trafficker Fernando Zevallos Gonzales, alias “El Lunarejo,” who is currently serving a prison sentence in the capital.
