Prosecutors of the “narcoflight” were changed after citing political authorities

After a month of investigations directed to clarify the
cargo transportation of almost
half a ton of cocaine from
Bolivia to Spain, the controlled substances prosecutors of a special commission were changed, unexpectedly removed from the case.

The fiscal commission this Monday received a forceful order to stop investigating the case of the ‘drug flight‘ and hand over the documentation, but without any explanation.

The prosecutors in charge of the investigations were the head Rocío
Medrano Urizar, Rubén Ordóñez and
Fernando Mejía, who according to reports from the Special Force to Fight Drug Trafficking (Felcn), They were surprised after spending all the time with police officers in an investigation complex that caused edging
of scandal on a national scale and
international.

The new prosecutors immediately assigned to handle the case are Julio César Porras, Vinicius Castillo and Emanuel Ferrada. The reasons for the change, according to Felcn, is that the highest commands of intelligence groups were touched, to hierarchical positions of the flag company BoA, Naabol, Customs and others who were summoned to give statements. In addition, raids were carried out at the Jorge Wilstermann airport, in Cochabamba, at the BoA power stations, Naabol, Customs and other
special groups of the Felcn.

The tax commission this week
I already had the summons to the national manager of Naabol, Elmer Pozo, who reports directly to the Minister of Public Works, Edgar Montaño. Likewise, the summons to those responsible for hierarchical positions of Customs and of the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics (DGAC).

The investigations to clarify the shipment of the 478 kilos of cocaine to Spaina, according to Felcn intelligence reports, were advanced.

“They are hitting the nail on the head,” was the phrase when the Felcn high command was summoned to testify, they raided Cochabamba and processed the
hypothesis that ehe drug shipment left the capital of the valley, with transit in Viru Viru, Santa Cruz.

The capture of several reports, to which EL DEBER agreed, confirm that the Anti-narcotics Prosecutor’s Office and the Felcn tThey planned this week to proceed to the immediate capture of several people related to the shipment of cocaine to Spain.

At the same time, it was learned that this week they were ready to practice special operations to arrest people considered hierarchical who, according to the
latest investigations, They had direct ties to an international mafia which was in charge of the transport of almost half a ton on a commercial flight of the BoA airline.

“With the surprising change of prosecutors, the actions that were planned were stopped”affirmed an agent of the Felcn
who out of fear requested reservation of his
identity.

Another reason for the changes were the requirements issued, the summons to declare the national manager of BoA, of
your head of security and legal officer. the national manager Ronald Salvador Casso Casso is the brother of Police Colonel Winston Fabián Casso Cassothat
in 20144 he was the head of the security corps of the State Vice Presidency. He later retired and in 2021 and 2022 he was national director
of Dircabi. A report from the Felcn
verified by the Prosecutor’s Office indicates that
Colonel Winston Fabian Casso
Casso is now a personal adviser to the
government minister.

He captured Pumari and Camacho
The fiscal commission not only called the Felcn general staff, BoA, Naabol,
Customs, as well as heads of elite groups, but rather personages considered trustworthy and key to the current government. One is police colonel Herland Aldo
Portanda Ustarez, former head of the Felcn Intelligence and Special Operations Group (GIOE).

Intelligence reports from Felcn itself indicate that Colonel Portanda was the one who directed the special operations to execute the captures of the former civic leader of Potosí Marco Antonio Pumari, in December 2021 and the governor of Santa Cruz, Luis Fernando Camacho, in December 2022.

The colonel Portanda was summoned by the tax commission and gave statements in Santa Cruz. Colonel Portanda’s statements are considered important, as well as that of the former national director of Felcn, Colonel José Illanes, who in recent days was removed from his duties and assigned to Tarija.

airport without security
Another key report of the Felcn of knowledge of the Prosecutor’s Office is the
current security situation
from the Jorge Wilstermann airport, in Cochabamba. During the raids, the Felcn and Prosecutor’s Office andThey issued requirements and reports making it known that the air terminal lacks security measures. They detected that the Felcn cameras at the airport have not been working since the year
past.

Also, that having the cameras in optimal conditions was the responsibility of the national direction of the Felcn from that time directed by Colonel José Illanes, who was removed from office and destined for Tarija.

The prosecution did to know that Naabol is the entity that must ensure the security of the entire airport. The prosecution issued requirements to know the causes of the neglect of the lack of security cameras that airport, as well as others aspects that facilitate networks of drug trafficking to operate without no problem.

Until now the hypothesis that the almost half a ton of cocaine left from the Jorge Wilstermann airport is latentheading to Santa Cruz as transit and finally to Madrid, where in the
Barajas airport is discovered
all.

Mafia link in Barajas
Among other reasons why
the surprising change of
the fiscal commission of the ‘narcoflight’ case is an intelligence report that cites a hypothesis that refers to to the possible nexus of senior security officials at the Barajas airportfrom Madrid.

“We are facing a terrible international organization of drug traffickersthere are serious indications that the drug trafficking mafia operated in Barajas to ensure
for the shipment to arrive. This is
unfortunate, but thanks to brave agents in the end everything was discovered”, said a Felcn agent.

This report was also fully
knowledge of prosecutors
they were carrying out a specific task having been declared in commission.

There are nine detainees
Since the first days of June when the kidnapping of the cocaine load in Madrid became known, Felcn and the Prosecutor’s Office began investigations.

The orCustoms anti-narcotics agencies of Spain reported that the event occurred on February 12, but that they informed their peers in Bolivia in a timely manner. The first communiqué issued by the Felcn in our country was that Spain did not disclose the discovery of the cocaine shipment in a timely manner.

So far there are nine people who were arrested and sent to Palmasola prison by court order. All the detainees are civilians, only one of the detainees is a police captain, in charge of dogs of the Felcn in ViruViru airport.

The Prosecutor’s Office prosecutes these people for the crime of trafficking in controlled substances and conspiracy. The arrests are the reason for harsh questioning by different sectors considering that there are no apprehensions of those responsible for hierarchical positions of key institutions such as Felcn, Naabol, BoA, Customs and others that
according to reports they were about to be captured but surprisingly the change of the fiscal commission was ordered.
