Callejero Fino detained in Tigre for illegal weapon possession
RKT singer Simón Natanael Alvarenga, known as Callejero Fino, remains in custody following his arrest in Tigre, Argentina. The singer was intercepted by police while driving a Volkswagen Amarok without license plates in the Villa La Ñata area.
During a vehicle search, authorities discovered a Glock .40 pistol with its serial number filed off. Alvarenga denied ownership of the weapon during his interrogation. Prosecutor Cosme Iribarren has upgraded the charges from illegal possession of a war weapon to illegal carrying of a war weapon, a more serious offense that carries a minimum sentence of three years and six months.
A 27-year-old companion, identified as Steven Joel Ricca, was also detained. Alvarenga’s defense stated the vehicle was missing plates because it was being used to film a music video. The singer, who has a prior conviction for armed robbery, remains held incommunicado at the Benavídez 4th Police Station.
