Backpack with Q111 thousand 666
When the agents of the PNC and the Public Ministry went to the place, they verified that in the backpack there was Q111 thousand 666.00 with a seal from the bank. Trujillo could not justify why he had that money.
According to the PNC, the bank employee said at the time of his capture that the packages of money belonged to different clients. And that, besides, he only protected him. He also said that the money was from a clothing sale that he has online, but he could not prove it either.
The bank manager was captured and made available to a court to solve his legal situation.
