Senegalese man with 25 criminal records and electronic tag arrested for dealing stolen goods

Buenos Aires police arrested a Senegalese national with an extensive criminal history and a history of gender violence, along with a Paraguayan accomplice, for allegedly dealing in stolen goods.

The Senegalese man, 43, has 25 previous records for offenses including robbery, aggravated robbery with a weapon, attempted robbery, theft, drug trafficking, minor injuries, and possession of unconventional weapons. He is also subject to electronic monitoring via an ankle tag due to a domestic violence complaint.

His 47-year-old Paraguayan associate has prior offenses related to illegal mobile phone trafficking. The pair was apprehended in the Constitución neighborhood while allegedly engaged in a transaction involving merchandise.

During the arrest, officers seized various items, including watches (Rolex, Tresa, Skmei brands), cell phones, a notebook, a portable battery, a charging cable, an external memory card, and a screwdriver. The Senegalese man was found with 80,000 pesos, and the Paraguayan with 17,000 pesos.

Notably, police also confiscated a device capable of detecting and scanning radio frequencies used by cameras, alarms, and GPS trackers. Neither suspect could provide a satisfactory explanation for possessing most of the items. The case is being handled by Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 3, presided over by Judge Daniel Rafecas.
