In a decisive blow against transnational organized crime, the Spanish National Police, in close collaboration with Ecuadorian authorities, has arrested Wilmer Geovanny Chavarría Barré, known as “Pipo,” in Málaga. He is considered the top leader of the criminal organization Los Lobos, one of the most dangerous in Ecuador.
The capo managed to evade justice for years, hiding under false identities and alternating his residence between Europe and the Middle East. His capture occurred after traveling to Málaga from Morocco with fraudulent documents, ending a long international manhunt.
