Fernando araujo argentina

ByErich B. Anderson

In 2006, a unit of highly-trained Argentine special forces made their way into a bank near Buenos Aires (via GQ). Armed assailants had forced their way into the building and taken nearly two dozen innocent people as hostages for hours — and then things went quiet. By 7:00 p.m., the authorities that had surrounded the financial institution refused to wait any longer and ordered their men to enter the premises.

Within, the police found the hostages safe and sound, if slightly rattled, but there was no sign of the masked criminals. Instead, law enforcement discovered a row of toy guns and a handwritten message that said (via GQ), "In a neighborhood of rich people, without weapons or grudges, it's just money, not love." Also missing was an enormous sum of money worth between $20-$25 million. Here is the truly gripping story behind one of the most impressive heists of the Fernando araujo canoga park!
