The shooting attack against two buses transporting 100 members of the Santa Fe Penitentiary Service prompted two
surprise searches at the Piñero Prison,
an institution that houses renowned prisoners among drug gangs in the city of Rosario.
The procedures, whose images released to the press
recall those of the prisons of El Salvador,
where President Nayib Bukele carries out a strong policy of control in the penitentiary establishments of his country, were carried out by Special Tactical Groups.
The searches were carried out after the shooting attack perpetrated last Saturday against two buses that were transporting personnel from the Santa Fe Penitentiary Service from Rosario to the city of Santa Fe. As a result of the incident, an employee was injured.
This was yet another chapter in the attacks against personnel and officials of the province, which included shootings and threats.
Bukele-style searches in Santa Fe prisons in El Salvador.
At the site, a sign was found in which the aggressors demanded the relaxation of the regime for high-profile prisoners, toughened by Governor
Maximiliano Pullaro.
The images
showing the prisoners with their naked torsos
, sitting, with their hands tied behind their backs and their heads bowed, tightly guarded, were released by the government of Santa Fe. They are reminiscent of the material usually released by the Bukele government.
"They are going to have it worse and worse,"
is the title of the message that accompanies the photographs, published on the Instagram account of Governor Pullaro and the provincial Security Minister, Pablo Cococcioni.
