According to InSight Crime, the "Patrones de Ucayali", a criminal group led by Juan Miguel Llancari Gálvez and Jorge Edilberto Alvarez Choquehuanca, developed an intricate network of illegal timber trafficking in Peru. The network was involved in felling trees in the Peruvian Amazon and laundering illegal timber through corrupt officials and falsified documents. Investigation into the mid-level criminal group began in 2015, when police detected suspicious paperwork related to Timber Transport Permits (GTFs). Following this, police surveillance, phone taps and undercover operations revealed the network's operations, involving loggers, forgers, transporters, and corrupt officials. However, corruption and tip-offs allowed the network's leaders to evade arrest. InSight Crime also highlights the involvement of the Bozovich family in this criminal network. Major players in Peru's timber industry, the Bozovich family, were suspected to operate through a series of shell companies, allowing them to launder proceeds from illegal timber trafficking with relative impunity.
