Peru prosecutor seeks 36-month pretrial detention for 13 Octopuses gang members

Peruvian prosecutor Andrea Lavado Pérez has requested 36 months of preventive imprisonment for 13 members of the Octopuses gang, charging them with document forgery and criminal organization, with aggravating factors of hitman and extortion. The gang allegedly used a drone to follow and kidnap Jenns Lara, though the perpetrators remain unidentified and at large. This marks a significant judicial step against organized crime in Peru, but the ongoing investigation and missing suspects leave the case unresolved.
