The operation originated following a call to the National Emergency Attention System 9-1-1, when a 23-year-old woman reported having been the victim of an attempted drowning (attempted murder) and sexual assault while on a yacht in the Salpa Marina of Boca Chica. The victim was taken to a medical center, received care, and was referred to the medical examiner for evaluation purposes.

Within the framework of this intervention, the agents detected the suspicious exit of a luxury Mercedes Benz G500 SUV, valued at more than $400,000, driven by Denis Blanco, who tried to escape and was intercepted at the San Carlos bridge.

The suspect was found with a latest-generation Glock pistol, three magazines of different capacities and a total of 48 9mm caliber rounds, as well as cash, watches, clothing, cell phones and other high-value personal effects. A firearms license that was not in his name was also seized.

Along with Denis Blanco, other people who acted as his bodyguards were arrested, including Julio César Mena Mena (a) Pistolita and Wilfredo Sala Pérez (a) Pipilo, who were found with cell phones and personal accessories, and one of them was carrying a firearm illegally.

The Police claim that Denis Blanco shot an officer of that institution in Guachupita in November 1997, and that last year he murdered a man in Villa Consuelo.

Also, that since September of last year he is identified as the intellectual author of the police case of Ramón Antonio Cabrera Ferrer, in the María Auxiliadora sector.
