Hablan los “Hombres bomba”: sicarios de “Los Pulpos” encargados de dinamitar la ciudad por cupos

A group of hitmen linked to the criminal organization known as "Los Pulpos" confessed to the Peruvian National Police how they carried out bombings in the city of Trujillo to extort money from merchants and business owners. The program Panorama obtained the testimony of these criminals, who detailed without remorse how they conducted the attacks. According to their statements, the men were hired to detonate dynamite in the homes, businesses, and vehicles of those who refused to pay extortion money. One of the cases they revealed was the attack on the bus of the cumbia group Armonía 10, for which, they indicated, they were promised 1,000 soles in exchange for carrying out the attack. Colonel Luis Burgos, head of the Criminal Investigation Division (Divincri), stated that these criminals acted with complete disregard for human life and that they were part of the operational arm of the criminal gang. According to the officer, these are highly dangerous individuals who carried out attacks to sow terror and pressure their victims. ALIAS “JJ” ALSO CAPTURED Following coordinated intelligence work, the police managed to capture alias “JJ,” the alleged armed wing of “Los Pulpos,” as he attempted to flee to Chile. The operation was carried out jointly with the Chilean police and led to the arrest of Jhon Nureña Rojas, implicated in several attacks in Trujillo, as well as other hitmen responsible for planting explosives in businesses and vehicles.
