They operated around the clock

The criminal gang had set up a distribution network with seven sales points active day and night. The investigation, led by the Public Prosecutor's Office, made it possible to completely dismantle the structure. The Anti-Narcotics Police Force carried out the raids and arrests.

During the operations, 2,872 doses of cocaine, 2,569 of marijuana, and 933 psychotropic pills were seized. Six vehicles, a truck, and $3,352,670 in cash were also confiscated. The convicted individuals maintained a professional and dangerous distribution circuit.

Crime must not go unpunished

With these sentences, the judiciary reinforces a necessary message: crime must not go unpunished. In neighborhoods where drug trafficking advances, law-abiding residents are the first to pay the consequences. Security is not negotiable; it is guaranteed.

The judicial system, when it works, sets clear boundaries. Unlike years of complicity and turning a blind eye, today those who choose to live outside the law pay. Without criminal romanticism or sociological excuses: these individuals sold drugs, and the judiciary acted.
