According to Felcn investigations, when the drug shipment was discovered, the Toyota van license plate 3119DSK was intercepted, in which Wilberth Huayra Abregu, a Peruvian national, Deco Falconabad, a Peruvian, and Mario Suárez Bernal, a Bolivian who were related to Misael Nallar, were circulating.

Nallar is also being investigated for legitimizing illegal earnings, deterioration of wildlife assets and for trafficking in controlled substances.
The defense of the victims of the police, led by the lawyers Jessica Echeverría and Juan Pablo Ibáñez, considers that the action of the authorities of the Beni Prosecutor’s Office is efficient since they activated the case and have already presented an accusation. Juan Pablo Ibáñez said that the Beni thing is to set an example while, in Santa Cruz, all the processes do not advance.
