A massive drug trafficking operation was uncovered within the walls of Santiago Vázquez, a former Comcar facility. The investigation revealed that the criminal organization raked in a staggering 8.5 million pesos.
Five individuals, both inside and outside the prison, were handed down sentences of up to four years behind bars for their involvement in the case.
The scheme involved family members of inmates paying for the drugs via money transfers to prepaid cards obtained through payment networks, according to Javier Benech, Director of Communication for the Prosecutor’s Office.
The 8.5 million pesos were laundered between January 2023 and June 2024.
Investigation Ongoing
The case is still under investigation, led by Angelita Romano. More details are expected to surface as the probe continues.
