00:00The mafia of the caretakers of the traps in the Porteño de Flores neighborhood
00:04It happened in Elguera, almost corner of Abacacay
00:06The image is forceful, it looks like a trap attacks a doctor when he wanted to park his vehicle
00:13The exact place where the trap attacked the doctor, the driver, of course, he took a wood
00:18Notice that there are stakes, they use them precisely to be able to park the cars
00:22That wood had a nail, and so he attacked him on his face for several seconds
00:29The merchants themselves had to intervene from this episode
00:32And they begin to reveal that the presence of these traps is common
00:35Especially the days that microbuses arrive from different corners of the country in this commercial area par excellence
00:45Ma'am, what happens with the traps, with the caretakers here in this area?
00:48There is a lot of violence because on top of that they don't want to pay
00:52The threat says, you pay me or I give you the car or I take it out
00:56If you don't pay them, they attack you
00:58They attack you, they take you out and they put a price on you, 5,000, 6,000, it depends on the size of the car
01:06This is the area where the traps are usually located
01:09Venancio Flores is the street next to the Sarmiento railway tracks
01:15This is the place where they usually stay from very early on, waiting for the motorists to arrive
01:20The trucks, the suppliers, and they are located here, under this pedestrian bridge
01:27Here it is not a bathroom, it says, this is the place
01:30But here they usually stay for hours to charge the motorists
01:34The neighbors of the area here in Flores, asking for more security
01:38What happens, this problem that has been happening, they have been telling us for years
01:41With the presence of the traps, caretakers who attack if you don't pay them
01:44Look, the traps are the eventual employment that the number of people who are now living in the public space, under the bridge
01:52That consume paste base, in broad daylight, sitting on the curb of the sidewalk
01:58The need to have money to continue buying paste base
02:04Or that even a neighbor who is from the neighborhood has to pay a trap
02:08So that they don't park cars at the door of their garage, to be able to leave
02:15Everyone agrees that parking in this area of Flores is usually very, very complicated
02:19It can take up to 40 minutes to leave the car
02:23And look at what the neighbors themselves have to do
02:25Place posters of this violent nature, by the way
02:29Do not park, if you do, I'll break your car
02:33The neighbors of the area here in Flores, asking for more security
02:38Of course, that's how this situation happened, this doctor who arrived with his wife
02:44The woman had gone down before, and he ends up with this discussion
02:48That draws attention, Cristian, but you were walking around the neighborhood and the neighbors
02:52In addition to finding that poster, in red, with capital letters
02:57What the neighbors say is that this is something daily, constantly
03:02The harassment by the carers
03:04Yes, we talk about threats and attacks by carers
03:08To motorists, especially in this area, in the Porteño neighborhood of Flores
03:12Which is a commercial area, which is very difficult to find places to park
03:17In this case, the 57-year-old doctor, this man with his partner, they demanded 5,000 pesos
03:23And that's where the aggression occurs
03:25If you don't pay me, I'll break everything
03:28He said, as he stated in his statement
03:30How important it is to report when you suffer an attack, an aggression, a threat of these characteristics
03:36The doctor did it 24 hours later, from the moment he took public state of the images
03:41And he was left with many wounds, he had to be treated for those wounds he suffered
03:46But the truth, and the news this week, is that after this aggression
03:51And after presenting the complaint at the 7C police station
03:54They managed to give, with this couple of carers, with this couple of thugs
03:59Who had attacked this doctor, they were arrested
04:03And the worrying thing is that they had records of the same nature, at least 11
04:09Do you know what the problem is, Luciana? This is still a contradiction
04:12Of course, evidently it is a contradiction
04:15Beyond, let's say, the violent situation that was recorded in images
04:22And it is a fight in a public space
04:25But the truth is that we will have to see how the cause is carried out regarding this
04:32But it is true that it is not a crime, but that it is a minor instance, that is, a contradiction
04:36But let's see, Maxi, I add you too
04:38Because this issue of the rags is something that we constantly observe
04:42Not to mention in the stadiums when matches are played
04:45Yes, totally, in the stadiums, the closer you are to the field, the higher the rate
04:50Someone just said in the report that they charge you, it depends on the car you have
04:55The more beautiful and expensive the car looks, the higher the rate the rags ask for
05:00Well, on the field something similar happens, but with the distance to the field
05:04If you are close to the field, the rate can be up to 15,000 or 20,000 pesos
05:10And what they tell me, for example, in the neighborhood of Palermo
05:13Is that at night the neighbors call the police and tell them
05:18Look, there is a rag on this and that street
05:20The police comes, the rag goes, the police goes and what happens? The rag returns
05:25It is a complicated situation, it is true what you say
05:29That when there is a football match, they appear and there are many
05:34It has been worked on in this sense to be able to reduce the amount
05:37But the truth is that they achieve it for a match, pass another date and return
05:41It is as if it were a situation of reincidence on the part of the rags
05:46But in this particular case in Flores, where we see on our screen
05:49In the upper right part, there we see the aggressor today arrested
05:53And the doctor with a white shirt, the doctor also defended himself a lot
05:57Yes, yes, quickly, because the scene begins when he goes down
06:03There is the exchange of words and what the doctor notices is that
06:08Let's say he takes care of cars, he had a board under his foot
06:13A white board, with nails, when the doctor goes down
06:18Obviously, or he gets scared or reacts that way, pushing him
06:23First he pushes the doctor and that's where the rag hits him
06:28There he hits him, then he places him like that
06:31There is even a bottle, right?
06:33Yes, it is true, but remember that the one who is hitting is the doctor
06:35That is, the rag that placed him against the trunk
06:37But the truth is that according to what the doctor said in the police station
06:40He said, pay me because I break everything and kill you
06:43So if this is what the doctor says in his statement in the police station
06:49And the rag told him that, justifies the attitude he had to get out of the vehicle
06:53And push the rag against the wall
06:56And from that situation, the rag takes this wood with nails
07:02That ends up attacking him and causing him injuries
07:05Even Luciana in his arms, we were with the doctor
07:08We were supporting him in the police station and this is what he said
07:11Rags are always seen in the neighborhood, I don't know these people
07:14I had never seen them
07:16I have never been in that street
07:19But yes, the rags are everywhere and in that area it is terrible
07:24Obviously, something has to be changed
07:27So that these people can no longer act with the impunity with which they do it
07:32Because I tell them that people passed with drinks
07:36People walking, elderly, everything
07:39And it was a madness of blows and kicks
07:44They hit my wife
07:46And people don't get involved because they are afraid
07:49Because they know that they are all gangs and groups that are terrible
07:54But the worst of all is the threat
07:56And that one does not know what reach they have
07:59Because they tell you, we are going to kill you, we are going to look for you
08:02As they told me, we are going to look for you and we are going to kill you
08:04And the truth is that I am to help people and to take care
08:08Not to be fighting with anyone
08:10So it's crazy all this
08:12Well, until then, the word of this doctor
08:16That we remember during the week
08:18It was news about this video
08:21That went viral, that transcended and that showed
08:23With a security camera of one of the premises there
08:26We are talking about a super commercial area
08:29This is very close to Avenida Villaneda
08:31Where there is a clothing store next to each other
08:34And then when people go shopping
08:37It is very difficult to park
08:39Well, in this context this situation occurred
08:42But of course, evidently there is a kind of network
08:46That negotiates according to the schedules
08:51Or the moments of the day
08:53Or the car that each one has
08:56A rate, in this case they asked him for 5,000 pesos
09:00And they threatened him that if he did not pay them
09:03Directly they would break him
09:05Yes, the head of the Porteño government
09:07Last week on social networks said
09:09That they are not ruffians but delinquents
09:11That is, the issue also went through the political issue
09:13But we have a report from our colleague
09:15Gonzalo Sorbo from a month ago
09:17Luciana, this is what happened
09:25The neighborhood of Flores is the most chosen
09:27To come to buy
09:29But Avenida Villaneda and its surroundings
09:31Has a big problem
09:33Which? Being able to park
09:35There is no place to park in Flores
09:37At 7 in the morning
09:39They put these potholes
09:41Look at the potholes
09:43There you have them, they put all these potholes
09:45They do not let you park
09:47There are several factors that hinder
09:49That people can park
09:51For example, many people come
09:53We already know, many cars come
09:55Then you have the rags, you have the maintenance
09:57And you have those who keep the place
09:59At the door of their place or who are working
10:01So how do they have to unload?
10:03They have to sit on the street and say
10:05Until the truck arrives, I stay here
10:07Is it difficult to park in Flores?
10:09Very difficult
10:11Why?
10:13There are many cars, they are buying a lot of people
10:15A lot of people come to buy?
10:17Yes
10:19And we were looking at some places
10:21They put bottles, they put chairs
10:23What is that? To keep places
10:25And they keep the rags
10:27They have to give them a coin
10:29How much do they charge you?
10:31How much does this place cost?
10:33As it is, it can be worth 5 lucas
10:355 lucas?
10:37They charge me for parking
10:394,000 to 5,000
10:41How much are they charging you?
10:43Every day
10:45How much do they take a day?
10:47More than 100
10:49Traffic staff
10:51Showing how they park
10:53In double line
10:55When there is a place to park
10:57As much as it says
10:59They charge and unload
11:0124 hours
11:03But anyway, they also park in double line
11:05And the traffic staff makes the fine
11:07Notice what happens in the corner
11:09Where the maintenance workers
11:11They put themselves on the street
11:13There is a place for example to park two cars
11:15Look at it
11:21I just showed you
11:23In the streets of the interior of Flores
11:25But here I am on Avenida Avellaneda
11:27And the double line
11:29Prioritizes
11:31Come, come, listen to me
11:33You have to save the place
11:35So that you can unload
11:37And yes, because it is very complicated to park
11:39Do they charge you?
11:41They don't charge me anything
11:43If I know it well, I go to the area
11:45But if you are a local, you have to save the place
11:47Because otherwise you can't unload
11:49You have to park here in the garage
11:51And if the camera catches you
11:53It's a problem for us
