A MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR NESTOR ADRIAN GONZALEZ, 61, WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN TO AUTHORITIES AND IS NOW BELIEVED TO BE THE BIGGEST DRUG LORD IN ARGENTINA AFTER A MASSIVE SEIZURE OF
COCAINE 07:48, 22 May 2025 A businessman now believed to be Argentina’s biggest drug lord is on the run after a discovery of 425kg of cocaine in what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse
has led to his empire unravelling. Nestor Adrian Gonzalez, 61, was pictured in a bar in the town of General Mosconi on the border with Bolivia but managed to give police the slip and is now
believed to be hiding in the neighbouring country where much of his illegal activities are said to have taken place. Last Saturday police searched a warehouse that appeared abandoned around
100 kilometres from the border with Bolivia and it was there that they found 425kg of cocaine hidden inside lorry tyres. It followed a month-long investigation and it is the second largest
seizure of drugs to be found this year after 469kg was found in a boat near Rosario, in the Santa Fe province. Three men were found and arrested in the raid on the building but the
authorities have not managed to capture the main boss, Gonzalez, who has now emerged on the narco map in Argentina as one of the biggest players. The state prosecutor is calling for his
capture and an investigation is continuing into all his business activities with his base in the Salta province in the north of Argentina. Article continues below Gonzalez had been spotted
in a service station with other men and was being filmed on CCTV at the same time as the raid was made on his warehouse while drugs were being delivered. But Gonzalez managed to escape most
likely to Bolivia with immigration records showing now that he and his workers have been making many border crossings over the past year. His business had been registered with the taxman as
providing road haulage, renting out spaces for parties as well as being involved in real estate, with all his records up to date. But now authorities believe that he had a fleet of lorries
with double bottoms which were carrying drugs over the border. Article continues below "He is suspected of being a logistics chief and a drug trafficker. González, so to speak, is the
front man. He provides the infrastructure and logistics," a police source told Infobae. The drugs are likely to have been distributed around Argentina. "It could be headed toward
Córdoba, Tucumán, or further south," the source said. Detectives are now looking through his phone records where it is reportedly hoped that they will make a breakthrough in his
capture.
