Super OCD is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.
Deleted line(s) 58 (click to see context) :
* SuperOCD: Santos seems to have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. Some examples like his particular taste in food and aesthetics, his distaste of personal touch, his mannerisms, his obsessive dedication to his job, his interaction with people, etc. Possibly overlaping with some shades of autism and or Asperger syndrome.

* AdaptationalBadass: Not that he's a wimp in the original version of the show, but a lot of the remakes remove the character of Molero completely, while still adapting the final encounter he has with the protagonists. Thus giving the impression that Milazzo was competent enough to find them all on his own without the help from a detective (which is absolutely not the case in the original version).

* AwfulWeddedLife: According to Medina, he couldn't stand his wife any more, arriving his home as late as he could.
* CharacterDevelopment: The whole point of the drill is to make him improve as a person.
* DirtyCop: He is basically the crime lord of his area. He is involved in prostitution, smuggling, abuse of power, etc.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: "Evil" might be an stretch, "corrupt" probably fits better, but his friendship with Ravenna is genuine, showing that he cares about him, this being one of the reasons he becomes a better individual.
* HeelFaceTurn: The whole episode is one for him. He becomes a honest cop at the end of the episode, and a pretty good one, managing to reduce the crime rates on his district to half in two months, and putting the police force at people's service, finishing the extortions.
* JerkassWoobie: A curious case invoked for one the team's {{Asshole Victim}}s, he actually has a relatively sympathetic backstory, and despite his horrible actions, his life is also awfully miserable.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: That, and the fact of actually being able to achieve his dream, helps him to become a better person.
* TragicDream: His dream of joining SETI, and being rejected from it was what it pushed him into the dark path he took.
* TragicVillain: To a level, he is. He tells the group that his life was a disaster full of frustrations and unhappiness, which also drove him to many of his actions, and that he never felt he had any reason to do things right until that moment, which shows he had a pretty unhappy existence until that day.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He seems to be pretty racist in general, a lot of the people he targets with his scams are groups seen as "inferior", such as immigrants or low class people desperate for a chance at fame. He also throws a couple derogative remarks against Paraguayans and the Chinese. A behaviour that can be seen as more normalized in Argentina, where political correctness is not as prevalent as in first world countries.

He does show child-like interests, usually inaware of them being less than appropiate for the ocassion (such as his love for cartoons and the [[{{WideEyedIdealist}} exaggerated idealism]] he displays sometimes), but he is responsible enough with his job and as competent as the rest of the team.
