The raids took place in San Francisco and Frontera, where authorities seized cocaine, marijuana, and cash

A 46-year-old woman and her 29-year-old son were arrested for trafficking narcotics in Córdoba and Santa Fe. The investigation lasted more than four months. The case focused on San Francisco and Frontera, two neighboring cities located in the eastern part of the province.

Both were apprehended after an operation led by the Anti-Narcotics Police Force.The woman was already serving house arrest for a similar case. Despite that sentence, she remained involved in drug trafficking alongside her son.

The case is being handled by the Narcotics Prosecutor's Office of San Francisco. The evidence collected made it possible to proceed with the raids. Authorities suspect that both led an active and sustained point of sale.

Simultaneous operations and tactical deployment

The raids were carried out in homes in both cities simultaneously. One of the residences was adapted for drug packaging. The Tactical Action Team of the FPA intervened with specialized logistical support.

During the procedures doses of cocaine and marijuana ready for sale were seized. Authorities also confiscated cash and items for cutting and weighing. Part of the material was hidden in compartments designed to evade inspections.

The woman had been granted house arrest for a previous conviction. Despite that, she violated the conditions imposed by the court. Recidivism in drug-related activity once again raises questions about the effectiveness of this type of measure.

Federal justice and current legislation

Both detainees were charged with violating National Narcotics Law No. 23.737. The case will continue in the federal jurisdiction based in San Francisco. The prosecutor's office requested pretrial detention to prevent obstruction of the investigation.

Judicial authorities have warned about the use of house arrest benefits by repeat offenders. The case reinforces calls for stricter controls. It is essential to prevent these networks from continuing to operate from confinement.
