Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Thegentlemen on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

gelarti.com.pe zoominfo.com/c/gelarti/459647742 Gelarti Peru's leading gourmet ice-cream parlor chain — 39 shops & cafés in the country's top malls — operating since 2013 through Franquicias Unidas del Perú S.A.C. (RUC 20548498181). The twist: Gelarti is the international alias of Colombia's legendary Popsy (Danesi Cantagali Group, founded 1981 by UN-economist-turned-entrepreneur Álvaro Londoño and his wife Elena) — the Popsy name couldn't be registered abroad, so exports run under Gelarti ("gelato + arte"): Panama since 2003 (with its own plant, now claims #1 there) and Peru since 2013 (a $20M/50-store plan with local flavors lúcuma & pisco sour). Menu: copas (~S/19.90), milkshakes, frapps, 1L family tubs, crepes, pastries and coffee — a gelateria-café format with delivery via Rappi and its own site (ratings 4.1–4.4). The group behind it runs the full vertical: plants, cold chain, B2B distribution (Tottus, Tambo) and 200+ Popsy stores in 46 Colombian cities (~12M ice creams/year).
