It draws attention.
Or not so much.
There is, at least in the jurisdiction where this occurred, a growing trend of rookie criminals.
They appear bringing a car to commit an entry, a motorcycle for a exit.
No antecedents.
The "Kenai" case has something of that, but he got in front of the band and attacked hard, right off the bat, on his first move.
Still, the researchers insist, it draws attention, yes. "Because he is from a good family, with money, who has
a company that manufactures premium motor homes
and in their networks they publish photos of trips abroad, good life in general. When the raids were made there were high-end cars, there was a Camaro , also a 2021 Volkswagen Amarok, a Volkswagen Up ... Even a couple of weapons ", details a source with access to the case.
"Kenai" is
Jonatan Miguel Meddis, 29
, and he used that nickname for his new life, the criminal. He fell on Monday with an accomplice, identified as
21-year-old Braian Adolfo Coronil
, who called himself "Braian Agustín", also clean of record. Together with two others (both without prior records) they struck a millionaire hit on September 7, 2020, in a beautiful, classic colonial house in San Francisco Solano. Three got in, one played the "hood", stayed outside in a Volkswagen Gol Trend.
They attacked an Italian family
: an older man, 91, his 61-year-old son, and a 54-year-old maid were present at the time of the incident.
They had one piece of information: the men own a chain of paint shops and the building where a private school operates.
The move was worth several: they took $ 500,000 and two million pesos.
They did not use weapons, nor was it a physically violent situation.
Coronil and Meddis, detained in Quilmes, refused to testify.
Hooded, with chinstraps, impossible to identify through the cameras.
That is why the investigation seemed to be shipwrecked.
But not.
One detail changed everything.
They had called the landline of the attacked house twice, hours before the entrance.
The researchers took a record of the number from where they had made them.
A prepaid chip, with dozens of incoming and outgoing calls.
That allowed us to have a point, a reference, that after an event in Lomas de Zamora (an extortionate kidnapping) would finish relaunching the investigation of that millionaire assault.
Meddis and Coronil appeared in this intermingling of calls, including a third member of the gang (with no antecedents but from a family estranged from the law), who was directly involved in that kidnapping in Lomas.
Another gang wanted to charge around $ 50,000 to free this accomplice of "Kenai", since they had found out about the fortune they had stolen from the Italian family.
Some kind of Mexican.
The evidence was sufficient for the arrests to take place, after seven seven raids ordered by the prosecutor Mariana Curra Zamaniego, head of the Functional Instruction Unit (UFI) 6 of Quilmes, and carried out by the DDI of the same district in San Francisco Solano , Quilmes, Wilde, Lomas de Zamora and Temperley, where "Kenai" fell.
Weapons, ammunition and cell phones seized in the seven raids ordered by the prosecution 6.
Prosecutor Curra Zamaniego on Monday investigated the defendants for the crimes of "Illicit association and aggravated robbery in town and gang", and both refused to testify.
They appointed private attorneys.
In his possession they found a 9-millimeter caliber Bersa Thunder Pro pistol with an extended magazine for 28 rounds;
two shotguns, a "Kit Roni", seven cell phones
and an F-100 pickup.
"Meddis has a certain purchasing power, it is obvious that he likes to live well. When we interviewed the father, he told us that he had cut off relations with him, that he did not know what he was up to," adds one of the researchers, who at the time of raising a Hypothesis of why a rookie criminal with that profile could have committed a millionaire entry, did not go around and was direct:
"clearly he got into this to maintain his life status
, get the money that no longer came from elsewhere" .
