More than 1,200 ecstasy pills, many with the iconic tongue identifying the Rolling Stones. These and other drugs were discovered by Argentine Federal Police agents during an anti-drug operation in Rosario that killed a young man who sold them primarily at electronic parties.
The procedure was carried out by members of the Anti-Drug Unit of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) Rosario as part of an investigation by the Drug Crimes Prosecutor’s Office (ROCUNAR) against an individual committed to the sale of designer drugs.
The anti-narcotics officers tracked the suspect, filmed him and photographed him selling the drugs by delivery. Based on this evidence, Rosario Federal Judge Carlos Vera Barro issued search and arrest warrants against the defendant.
The suspect was located this Wednesday afternoon in Juan Manuel de Rosas and Montevideo, in the Martin district, a few meters from the provincial hospital, as he was on his way to an agreed delivery.
During the process, 1,200 ecstasy pills were confiscated, many of them with the tongue shape characteristic of the British band Rolling Stones, half a liter of ketamine, 250 grams of the highest purity cocaine, 250 grams of marijuana flowers, 70 grams of 2CB (known as Tusi or pink cocaine), 125 grams of MDMA crystal called “Ice”, precision scales and other elements of interest to the matter. All medications were ready for distribution.
The young man from Rosario, who also hijacked two luxury cars and a motorcycle, was brought to trial for violating the drug law. As it turned out, he did not have an official job, but maintained a high standard of living.
All material was confiscated by the PFA.
Last week, a family-led gang of 14 people – many of them foreigners – took part in several raids in different neighborhoods of the city of Córdoba after a five-month investigation.
The purchasing power of a couple who lived in the province was striking. They had no records as employees or employers. But her possessions included seven luxury cars and three motorcycles. Until the origin of their fortune became known: they ran drug trafficking as a “supply” and supplied drugs to various “kiosks” in the city. The ringleader and his wife acted alongside his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. They all came down with guns, dollars and 40,000 doses of cocaine.
The confiscated money amounted to 8,778,900 pesos and 23,687 dollars. In addition, they found six firearms, seven high-end vehicles, three motorcycles and various items related to the fractionation of illegal substances. The value of all items seized totaled $123,350,325.
