Justice charged the businessman this Thursday Martin Mutio by scam and drainage of bad checks, reported sources from the prosecution. Now the Justice ordered his fixation of domicile, prohibition to leave the country with border closures, delivery of travel documentation, and he cannot have communication with the victims, for 180 days.
Mutio had been arrested this Wednesday and transferred to Colonia, where the prosecutor Alejandra Domínguez was preparing to request the formalization of the investigation.
He is the only one accused by the 4.5 tons of cocaine seized in June 2019 in Germany in a container that had left Montevideo weeks before. He was in preventive detention until May 2020 and was now being investigated for other crimes as well.
He was the owner of the container that, in addition to the drug, had soybeans. He is an entrepreneur who in 2011 founded GCM global, a “logistics and foreign trade” company mainly dedicated to the export of frozen products, according to its website.
In Antwerp, the container weighed 25,580 kilos, while in Uruguay, before leaving the port of Montevideo, it had a weight of 30,410 kilos, and the difference between the two values gives a figure similar to the weight of the cocaine seized.
