On June 7, a 911 call alerted two suspects to a mechanic shop in the Parque Chacabuco neighborhood. When he arrived at the scene, the City Police encountered an unexpected scene: five people of Peruvian nationality, two Bonaerense police, two civilians (one armed) and almost 6 kilos of cocaine. The officers argued that they were investigating a drug trafficking case and showed a court order, which was later found to be false. The policemen ended up arrested and accused of illegal trespassing and drug trafficking. The case has an unexpected condiment.

José Rubén Mújica He is one of the two “narcos” police. His file shows that he started in the Tres de Febrero Cavalry. In 2015, it was transferred to the Lomas de Zamora Custody Services Division. He worked as custodian of former judge Alberto Santamarina and then Federico Villena, who inherited that court. “He left a while ago because he asked for it himself,” said close friends of the magistrate.

From the Lomas DDI, in the area of Drugs, the then chief officer Mujica actively participated in the investigation of the “Verdura” case, the narco who slipped too easily from the Police. On November 13, 2019, Mujica testified in that file before a secretary to Judge Villena. He reported that they had done intelligence tasks on a house located in Mariano Moreno 1329, in Esteban Echeverría’s party, where he would have seen a person with similar physical characteristics enter the drug trafficker. “I would have come down with dark bags, looking expectantly everywhere“Says Mujica’s statement, to which he had access Infobae, and which also bears the signature of Commissioner Alfredo Rodriguez.

Instead, Mariano Llorens highlighted the seriousness of the event. “The scale of sanction of the endowed conduct – which in the case, according to the provisional qualification carried out by the a quo, it provides for a minimum sentence of 4 years and a maximum of 15 years in prison-, the particular qualities of the person undergoing the process and finally, the assessment of procedural risks, ”he said in his minority vote.
