The secret conversations that show how Rosario’s drug dealer tried to escape from Ezeiza prison with a helicopter

Yesterday Friday afternoon, Esteban Lindor Alvarado, one of Rosario’s most fearsome bosses, saw how the most delirious plan of his criminal career was foiled. Sentenced to life imprisonment, with a cell in Pavilion E of Residential Unit 3 of Ezeiza Prison, the man who is one of the keys to understanding Argentina’s biggest criminal bloodbath contemporary tried to escape from prison with a Robinson 44 helicopter bought in Paraguay and a pilot hired for the occasion. He had discussed it with his accomplices for months. It did not work. The pilot was arrested for Federal Police at the Gualeguaychú airfield and his cell was searched, a case in charge of federal judge Ernesto Kreplak and prosecutors Cecilia Incardona and Diego Iglesiashead of the PROCUNAR.

Someone had sold Lindor Alvarado. On March 2 of this year, youA confidential witness revealed the plan, information that reached the prosecutors: Esteban wanted to leave Ezeiza, literally by stealing. The informant said the plan would be executed shortly. He even said he would do it in a black helicopter that would depart from a field located in Gualeguaychú. He even gave the coordinates of the place, the latitude and the longitude. The Federal went to get the land. He found it: it was a spraying airfield with a small runway. They found three men at the scene, whom they identified and followed. There was one in particular, a certain “Wolf”.

In a short time, investigators accessed the conversations on his phone. Chats via WhatsApp with Alvarado – who used a profile picture with Al Capone’s face – were frequent. The imprisoned capo left nothing to the imagination.

In a conversation on March 4, the two men said:

“Lobo”: This week we are going to work in detail, you know…

Lindor Alvarado: Yes yes. Do you want us to network? Well made, well attached.

“Lobo”: I would like to know if it is not at all harmful aerodynamically, it would be much better, for the operation, but ultimately, We saw it there with the “Gringuito”, go down without the back doors and on the skids, you go up, jump, and it looks like the operation is also viable, but hey, let me investigate. A little on the net, more than anything because of the aerodynamic problem.

“Gringuito”, whose name is Gianluca Orpianesi, was identified and arrested yesterday in Gualeguachú.
