San Juan Brothers and Nephew Implicated in DiDi Moto Robbery
San Juan Justice System Implicates Brothers and Nephew in Ride-Hailing Robbery
Justice officials in San Juan, Argentina, formally implicated two brothers and a nephew in a simple robbery charge this Thursday following an investigation into a coordinated attack on a ride-hailing driver. The suspects used the DiDi Moto application to lure a driver to an intersection in the Concepción neighborhood last October before stripping him of his belongings in a swarm-style robbery, diariodecuyo.com.ar reported.
Key Clinical Takeaways:
- Two of the suspects, José Hernán Flores and Kevin Miguel Narváez, suffer from hemophilia, a blood disease.
- Because of this condition, despite holding effective prison sentences, they serve their terms at home.
- Serving their sentences at home did not stop them from continuing to commit robberies near their residence.
Hemophilia Diagnoses Secured House Arrest Terms
Despite holding prior effective prison sentences, José Hernán Flores and Kevin Miguel Narváez served their time under house arrest due to their diagnosis of hemophilia. Flores carried an effective sentence of eight years and eleven months, while Narváez faced a three-year and three-month term processed through expedited flagrancy proceedings. Under the care of defense attorneys Martín Torcivia and Jorge Olivera Leglue, both men accepted an abbreviated trial agreement with prosecutor Cristian Catalano from the UFI Property Crimes Unit. This agreement added a seven-month prison term served under the same house arrest conditions, unifying Flores’s total sentence to nine years and six months and Narváez’s to three years and ten months.
Electronic Monitoring Revealed Suspicious Neighborhood Departures
Prosecutor Catalano requested that the Guarantee Judge, Gerardo Fernández Caussi, direct the Penitentiary Execution Court to review the living arrangements of Flores and Narváez at their General Acha neighborhood residence. Data from the CISEM monitoring center showed that Flores’s electronic ankle bracelet registered 50 departures from his home in recent weeks, each lasting approximately five minutes before he returned. Investigators deduced these short intervals allowed him to commit robberies and return before patrol cars arrived. Because Narváez lacked an ankle monitoring device, Catalano asked police to intensify neighborhood patrols around the residence until electronic tracking equipment is installed for the younger defendant.
Brother Faces Charges for Street Robbery
The third implicated individual, Elías Lionel Flores, who is the brother of José Hernán and uncle of Kevin Miguel, faced charges for simple robbery alongside a one-month effective prison term and a four-month investigation period for breaching conditions of a prior conditional fraud sentence. The October 18 incident occurred around 23:30 when driver Adarmes arrived at Arnobio Sánchez and Correa streets following a ride request. Narváez allegedly grabbed the driver’s arms and wrestled with him while the Flores brothers appeared to steal a mobile phone and a pouch containing identification documents before fleeing toward the Árbol Verde club.
To substantiate the case, the prosecution compiled trip logs, application PIN verification data, and statements from a protected-identity witness who watched the confrontation and subsequent escape. Neighborhood surveys revealed widespread community fear regarding the suspects. A subsequent authorized raid on a house near the club uncovered the victim’s identification card, other DNI documents, phone cases, and a box of the medication used by Flores and Narváez for their blood condition.
