“Pato Arce”: They dictate seven days of preliminary detention for footballer

After his bad decisions, Patricio Salvatore Arce Cambana, better known in the football world as “Pato Arce”, will remain in detention for seven days, after the Power Judicial of Callao provides for such a sanction against the athlete, accused of being the leader of the criminal gang “Los Baturris de la Perla Baja” and attempting to murder a police officer in Callao.

Thus, the Fourth Transitional Preparatory Investigation Court of Callao issued this measure against the footballer so that the Prosecutor's Office may carry out the proceedings on the charges against him in order to clarify all the investigations.

It is worth mentioning that the footballer will be detained at the headquarters of the Depincri de Bellavista. From there he will be questioned by the PNP intelligence forces and the prosecutor for the attempted murder of police officer Piero Javier Robles Gervasi, on March 24, 2021.

According to the first investigations, the policeman was carrying out patrolling in the First Port when he was intercepted by the athlete. In addition, he is charged with murder against a public transport worker.

According to preliminary investigations, the player, together with those who would be his accomplices identified as Jeferson Josué Ramírez Ríos and Anthony Ramírez Condemarín, would have dedicated themselves to collecting quotas in the construction and sanitation works in the Callao. When these guys didn't make the respective payments, that's when they were murdered.

It is worth mentioning that the player of the Universidad César Vallejo (UCV) football club, Patricio Salvatore Arce Cambana (29), was arrested by the police on March 18 at a hotel in Trujillo when he was gathering together with his teammates.

HOMICIDE CASE IN 2021

This case is that of the murder of a combi collector, who was killed, allegedly by the footballer on August 21, 2021. The Police (PNP) followed two of the members of 'The Baturris of the Low Pearl', also linked to the worker's death.

“The collector leaves the vehicle to bring the passenger in and at that time seven shots are fired in different parts of the body, which caused him to die. The mastermind would correspond to Patricio Salvatore Arce Cambana,” said Colonel PNP Carranza, head of the Depincri de Bellavista, on the news.

The other two detainees were 28-year-old Omar Armando Agurto Márquez, accused of being the one who shot the combi collector; and 26-year-old Lender Lyr Torres Castro, who would ride the motorcycle on which they fled.

It is alleged that 'Pato' Arce would also have been involved, being the head of the criminal organization.

ATTACK ON POLICE

The PNP also recently reported that Patricio Arce would be involved in the attack on a policeman, which occurred on March 24, 2021. According to the investigations carried out, Arce Cambana was the mastermind of the attempted murder against the police officer of the Callao Emergency Unit, 22-year-old Piero Javier Robles Gervasi. The officer was on patrol in the First Port.

The policeman was shot and in this case, Jeferson Josué Ramirez Ríos, 34, and Anthony Ramirez Condemarin, 25, were arrested. Both were recognized by the injured officer and are currently serving pre-trial detention.

SEPARATE FROM THE CLUB

As soon as he learned of the capture of the football player, the sports club César Vallejo made the decision to withdraw him from his first team for the duration of the investigations. They shared a statement on social media on March 20, where the Trujillo club made the news official.

“Due to the events that took place on Friday, March 18, 2022, with the preliminary arrest of the player Patricio Arce Cabana, carried out by the Peruvian National Police, we have decided to separate the player from the first team for the duration of the corresponding investigations,” the document reads.
