秘鲁纵火致10人死亡案主谋落网:「中国耶塞尼亚」与同伙在利马曼柴被捕

秘鲁警方近日在利马曼柴区抓获耶塞尼亚·乌雷塔·巴尔加斯(绰号「中国耶塞尼亚」)及其同伙胡安·艾利翁·科尔多瓦(绰号「Pimpollo」)。据秘鲁《Aja日报》与Latina电视台报道,警方指两人是一个敲诈团伙的头目,并涉嫌策划今年7月22日利马曼萨尼利亚一户民宅的纵火案,那场火灾造成同一家庭10人死亡。
国家警察刑事调查负责人里卡多·埃斯皮诺萨表示,纵火源于敲诈团伙之间争夺向摩托出租车停靠点收取「cupo」(保护费)的地盘:该团伙先焚烧摩托车,停在遇难家庭门口的一辆摩托车被点燃后,火势蔓延至住宅,而这家人与敲诈活动毫无关联。
警方称,抓捕线索来自该团伙近期针对一家餐吧的爆炸敲诈:一名被捕成员供认,「中国耶塞尼亚」曾出价100索尔雇他放置爆炸物。遇难者家属表示,担忧嫌疑人日后获释,要求当局提供保护与安全保障。
Peru Arrests Alleged Mastermind of Arson That Killed 10 in Lima Extortion Feud
Peruvian police have captured Yessenia Ureta Vargas, alias "La China Yessenia," and her partner Juan Ayllón Córdova, alias "Pimpollo," in Manchay, Lima. According to Diario Aja and Latina, police say the two led an extortion gang and allegedly masterminded the July 22 arson of a home in Manzanilla, Lima, in which 10 members of one family died.
Ricardo Espinoza, head of the National Police criminal investigation directorate, said the fire grew out of a dispute between extortion gangs over collecting "cupos" — protection payments — at mototaxi stands. The gang set fire to motorcycles; one parked at the family's door ignited and the flames spread to the house. The family had no connection to the extortion.
Police say the arrests followed the gang's recent extortion bombing of a restobar, in which a detained accomplice confessed that "China Yessenia" had offered him 100 soles to place the explosive. Victims' relatives say they fear the suspects could later be released, as others have been, and have asked the authorities for protection and guarantees.
