The entire heist was masterminded by a man named Fernando Araujo, who came up with the idea of building a tunnel into the bank. A major part of the planning and finance reportedly went into building the tunnel for the heist. The tunnel, according to Oxygen Media, was built by Sebastián García Bolster. 2 A plan to deceive the police According to Oxygen Media, some time before the heist, a man named Julián Zalloecheverría was contacted by his friend Beto de la Torre to join an infamous gang of bank robbers known as Super Bandas. The gang's plan was to rob the Banco Rio branch in Argentina. The group aimed to deceive the police by breaking into the bank from the front door and holding people inside hostage while other members would enter the tunnel they'd built to steal money and other valuables from the bank's safe deposits. 3 The execution Duolingo@duolingoThe mystery of the Banco Río heist continues with Episode 2 tomorrow!

As per Oxygen Media, the crew had decided to complete the heist within two hours. After taking money, jewelry, and other valuables, the thieves exited the tunnel while Julián Zalloecheverría waited outside with a vehicle for the gang to escape. The crew reportedly stole almost $20 million and left a note that read (obtained via Oxygen): ''Without weapons or grudges, it’s just money not love.'' The police began their investigation into the Buenos Aires bank heist but couldn't come up with any solid leads for the next several weeks. 4 The Capture Duolingo@duolingoEpisode 2 is here!

Torre's wife, according to GQ, identified several other members of the gang. The police eventually arrested Araujo, Bolster, Luis Mario Vitette, Zalloecheverría, along with Beto. There were two others involved in the heist who were never charged and the money stolen was reportedly never recovered by the police.
