What’s the accusation?
Authorities accuse this Dominican of leading an organization involved in drug trafficking concealed in fruit shipments.
The accused allegedly smuggled over 2,600 kilos of cocaine into Spain. His arrest took place in Colombia’s capital following a collaborated operation with international units.
The group’s modus operandi involved hiding drugs inside fruit consignments to bypass custom checks. Such camouflaging techniques are frequent among drug trafficking syndicates.
