The name of Keysi Alexandra Salvatierra Vigo appeared four years ago linked to the kidnapping of Alan Ríos Guevara, son of the former councilor of El Porvenir, where Los Pulpos demanded US$500,000. At that time, authorities did not directly link her to Jhonsson Pulpo, but the investigation later revealed her true role as financial administrator of the criminal organization.
A report from Punto Final showed that during interrogations by Divincri Trujillo, Keysi denied knowing the whereabouts of her daughter’s father. Initially she denied having been with Jhonsson Pulpo in Bolivia and stated that she had another partner.
The criminal money route
The key twist came when the remittances sent to Chile revealed that Keysi Salvatierra is the partner and mother of the daughter of Jhonsson Octopus. She confirmed having lived two years in Bolivia with the criminal leader, where she studied in Santa Cruz and worked in real estate, according to her version.
The investigation discovered that part of the extortion money financed plastic surgeries for Jhonsson at a clinic in La Paz. Under the false identity of Santiago Saavedra Quispe, he underwent blepharoplasty, double chin liposuction and rhinoplasty on January 19, and was discharged a day later. The medical records and payments from the Medical Center were evidence of how illicit money transformed the appearance of the fugitive leader.
The woman tried to divert attention to Jolín Bazán Valderramaa former ally of Jhonsson turned enemy and police informant according to his testimony. He also revealed to investigators that the organization had known for four years that Bazán, along with alias “La Gringa,” collaborated with the PNP.
Jhonsson and Jolín, who was a member of the criminal organization The Compadres They were partners in extortion against informal miners from Pataz. When the hitmen began to be captured, Jhonsson suspected that his ally began to betray him. This rupture would have triggered the attack against the Trujillo prosecutor’s office.
The five kidnappings of Jhonsson Pulpo
He PNP General Franco Moreno points out that Jhonsson Smith Cruz Torres, son of Jhon Cruz Arce and leader of the third generation of Los Pulpos, faked his death on August 20, 2020. The Anti-Kidnapping Unit discovered that he was still alive and that he was the author of five kidnappings in Trujillo.
The first was Alberto Huamanchumo Salvatierra, a construction businessman for whom they demanded S/271,000; He was mutilated and murdered. The second, Alan Ríos Guevara, where Keysi participated, receiving ransom money and various extortions, confirming that she was not just a “mother of the family” but an active part of the organization. The third, Marco Negreiros, a bachelor in engineering for whom they demanded S/1 million. The fourth, Manuel Rodríguez, kidnapped by criminals disguised as police officers; Even though the family paid S/100,000, he was murdered. The fifth, businesswoman Nilza Arrascue, released by the Dirincri Anti-Kidnapping Division.
Keysi’s arrest is added to that of John Snayder Nureña Rojas, a recruiter of minors who planted explosives in stores such as Tabaco Marino, Tabaco y Ron, and Luxor, detonated using cell phones. Captured in Chile, his case allowed access to records of direct calls with Jhonsson Pulpo, messages originating in Bolivia that confirm that the ringleader continued to direct criminal actions from abroad.
