Last month, Homeland Security agents working with Argentine authorities, seized 52 AR-15 assault rifles, 189 long arms, 156 handguns, one mortar round, one hand grenade, more than 30,000 rounds of caliber ammunition, five vehicles, and $110,000 in cash in part of the operation that he is alleged to have played a role in.
On June 26, Argentine authorities arrested several other suspects and seized thousands of firearms and explosive materials, The Miami Herald reported.
Thousands of assault-style weapons and explosives being shipped from South Florida to South America were also seized, according to the paper.
Court records did not list an attorney for Barrera, who has a bail hearing set next week in Miami federal court.
