The investigations in search of finding the organization that trafficked drugs in a small plane with Bolivian registration, which ended up suffering an accident in the Argentine Chaco, mobilized anti-narcotics agents and the Prosecutor’s Office in the capital of Santa Cruz, which is why this day several simultaneous operations and raids were carried out both in El Trompillo hangars and in private homes.
The Minister of Government, Eduardo del Castilloconfirmed that three people were arrested for investigative purposes, in order to establish if they have any link to the trafficking of more than 300 kilos of drugs, a shipment that was found inside the plane that fell in the town of Avia Terai in the department of Independencia, in Argentina.
“yese have arrested people for investigative purposes to provide their informative statement, in addition to the fact that a series of raids have been carried out on El Trompillo hangars and homes, we are now waiting for the report from the investigators of the Special Force to Fight Drug Trafficking (Felcn) and the Prosecutor’s Office,” said del Castillo.
He announced that a series of aircraft was sealed and who else would be involved by the case of the ‘narcoavioneta’ that fell in Argentina, but that a few weeks ago she had already been kidnapped, but after the result of a micro aspiration that supposedly tested negative for cocaine, she was released to her owners. “After noon we will have a report to provide to the media,” the minister said.
He recalled that as Ministry of Government a formal complaint was filed against the prosecutor that he would have been aware of the plane that was intercepted by the Felcn, a couple of weeks ago, when it would have arrived irregularly from Paraguay, but when the Public Ministry learned of the case, the designated prosecutor determined that the microaspirate should be done by the Institute of Forensic Investigations (IDIF) and not by the specialized technical body of the Felcn.
“The curious thing is that this plane came out free of the microaspirate, that is to say that the test came out negative for cocaine, but nevertheless it later fell in Argentina with more than 300 kilos of cocaine. This information is being forwarded to the Public Ministry and we hope that there will be an investigation transparent against these officials,” he said.
Del Castillo said that they are waiting for the Public Ministry to admit the complaint presented by the Ministry of Government and that From there all the investigations are developed.
