Jorge Arturo Argeñal, brother of Mario Argeñal, deputy for the Libertad y Refoundación Party (Libre) for the department of El Paraíso, was arrested for drug trafficking, the parliamentarian himself confirmed.
In communication with the HCH channel, Argeñal revealed that his relative has always had drug problems and that is why he and several members of his family decided to no longer support him financially.
“We have put him in some care centers, but this type of addiction traps and unfortunately today it happens again, what happened on previous occasions,” he said moments after it was reported that his brother was requested for extradition by the United States.
Mario explained that on this occasion as a family they will let the authorities take the corresponding measures.
“I understand that he has sold drugs to provide himself with what he requires, because as a family we have made the determination not to provide him with conditions for him to buy his addictions,” he reiterated.
The deputy said that “those who know me know what I am and that is why I don’t give anything. “He lives off what my dad gives him and the rent from a little house.”
This Thursday afternoon it had emerged that Jorge Arturo Argeñal had been requested for extradition since on Tuesday it was revealed that there is a new extradition request from the United States, however, the parliamentarian doubts that his brother has trafficked drugs on a large scale .
“He has already been arrested for addictions and for dealing marijuana, he is a boy who maintains his addictions for which he has been arrested,” he noted.
