The police are baffled as all you have for now is your complaint. Investigators could not explain how he was alone with so much money without any security. Another point that makes them sound is time and place, a rural area. In fact, there were no witnesses and no security cameras at the scene of the alleged attack. He could not justify where the crucial amount came from or show anything to prove that the amount was there at the time of the robbery, an official said.

The victim told police that he and his brother, Martin, had been partners and investors in a Denver company for several years and were dedicated to buying and selling property and vehicles.

In those minutes, on Mitter Street, the police caught the alleged thieves: the brothers Juan Gabriel and Osvaldo Guillermo Muerza Figueroa, from whom they stole a large gun and the car in which they were traveling. However, when uniformed officers interviewed them, they gave a completely different version to Martin Zapata’s version.

Muerza Figueroas confirmed to the police, and they confirmed it in the Department of Justice, that there was no robbery, and in fact they demanded the return of $4,000 that the Zapatas had given them to invest in cryptocurrencies. Also, they showed the signed contract with the investor and his company at the end of 2021 – at that time – “poppers”.

What the Muerza Figueroas promised was that they gave those dollars to the Zapatas, with the promise of a juicy profit from the interest on the invested capital. According to them, they never complied, months passed, they did not see any profit and they could not recover the dollars invested.

The case, which allegedly “pressed” Zapata, was tried by Flagrancia, but it went to the third trial court, where the Muerza Figueroa brothers benefited from disqualification. At the time, prosecutors Omar Quiroga and Horacio Merino announced publicly that they would indict the Zapatas for fraud and economic crimes. However, everything calmed down, but now with a new chapter lived by the Zapatas, in 2022 the victims will think of taking action against them.
