KEY POINTS

  • Entrepreneur Jenss Lara was kidnapped in Trujillo on August 30.
  • Four companions, including his partner Nadia Urtecho, were killed in the armed attack.
  • Lara stated he initially believed the attackers were police officers due to being intoxicated.
  • He was held in an underground cavity for over 30 hours before being released in Huanchaco.
  • Police arrested five individuals suspected of involvement in the crime.

Mining entrepreneur Jenss Lara revealed details of his August 30 kidnapping in Trujillo, La Libertad. The attack occurred when a fake police commando intercepted his vehicle after a night out.

Lara had visited a nightclub with his partner Nadia Urtecho, driver Christopher García, Farah Monzón, and security agent Luis Rojas. All four companions were killed during the armed assault.

“Estaba muy mareado, no sospeché que eran delincuentes”

— Jenss Lara

Under the influence of alcohol, Lara woke up to Urtecho's screams during the interception. Believing the armed men were law enforcement officers, he initially cooperated with their demands.

His perception shifted when the attackers handcuffed him aggressively and forced him away from the scene. He was held captive in an underground cavity until his release in Huanchaco.

Police attributed the attack to the criminal organization Los Pulpos and reported the arrest of five suspects linked to the case.
