Raids in Córdoba city

Another case of revolving door justice

The incident reopens the debate on recidivism in drug trafficking cases. One of the detainees had already been convicted but was on parole. Despite his criminal record, he remained involved in street-level drug dealing.

Cases like this call into question the early release system. The lack of effective controls leaves the door open to repeat offenses. In this case, a lengthy investigation was necessary to apprehend him again.
