Killed by two hitmen who landed on a jet ski on a Colombian beach while he was honeymooning with his wife, who was married 10 days ago. Marcelo Pecci Albertini, Paraguay’s super drug prosecutor, was killed in this way between the sun loungers and parasols of the Hotel Decameron on the island of Barù, off the coast of Cartagena de Indias in Colombia. And immediately, a real manhunt was unleashed by the authorities of Bogota and Paraguay, offering a super bonus of 460,000 euros to anyone who will help find the killers who carried out the ambush.

Pecci of Italian origin
Pecci, was 45 years old and of Italian descent. He married journalist Claudia Aguilera on April 30 in Asunciòn, who was unharmed in the lightning-fast armed attack that also injured a hotel security guard who was trying to counter the attack. The couple were on a low-key honeymoon, to the point that the judge decided not to report his presence to Colombian police authorities, who were surprised by the incident. After the shooting, Pecci was rescued immediately, but the injuries were so severe that death was all he could do. The media released images of the woman tearfully covering her husband’s body with a sheet. Days ago, the woman announced on social networks that she is pregnant. The government of Paraguayan President Mario Abdo strongly condemned the killing as it was the first Paraguayan judge to be killed abroad.

The Paraguayan Bishops’ Conference also condemned the deadly attack on Pecci, who was a fervent Catholic. For his part, the Director of the National Police, General Jorge Luis Vargas, stressed that the investigation to track down the perpetrators of the attack had started immediately, thanks to the identity card of one of the suspected killers and the announcement of a bounty of two billion pesos (over 462,000 euros) that the paid to those who provide information aimed at catching the killers. The senior officer asked for patience, noting that it is currently known that one of the killers was 1.74 meters tall, wore dark glasses and a Panama hat, and had a non-Colombian Caribbean accent. A key part of the investigation to identify a solid lead leading to the perpetrators of the crime is being developed in a joint effort that will begin in the next few hours between Paraguayan and Colombian judges and agents.

What is certain is that Pecci was a senior man in the Paraguayan Attorney’s Office’s anti-drugs and anti-money laundering division, and who last February took part in a maxi-operation called “A Ultranza Py” involving the infiltration of Mafia organizations in Paraguay from Brazil and Europe, which led to the resignation of two ministers. Before this operation became known, Pecci announced via Twitter in December that he had also met with experts from the Italian police in Buenos Aires to “assess the possible presence of the Italian mafia in general and the ‘Ndrangheta in particular” in Paraguay investigate. On the subject, analyst Cristiano Morsolin told ANSA from Bogotà that this shows that “Pecci’s investigations targeting the powerful Triple Frontera mafias, including the Brazilian Vermelho commando allied with the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta, were disrupting Latin American narcopolitics”.
