Argentina-Bolivia border smuggling investigation

Overview

Argentine national Alfredo Salazar was captured in Tarija, Bolivia, following an international arrest warrant for smuggling and illicit association. Authorities identified Salazar’s property, Finca Karina, located near the Argentine border, as a strategic site for the illegal movement of vehicles and undeclared goods.

Following a coordinated effort between Interpol and intelligence units from Bolivia and Argentina, Salazar was extradited through the Aguas Blancas-Bermejo International Pass. A federal judge in Orán has ordered his preventive detention as investigations expand into potential links between transport companies and illegal border trade operations.
