Unusual: he sold cocaine and accepted payments with all credit cards

The presence of large sums of money in low-denomination bills is one of the indications that are generally accepted by the courts to define that drugs are sold in a place. The researchers’ experience indicates that psychoactive substance retailers accumulate bills for small-dose transactions. Then they have the problem of laundering that money, albeit on a small scale. A drug dealer now surprised with a digital collection system. The profit – and the identity of the buyers, of course – was recorded. Unusual situation in a market that moves in the shadows, in illegality.

A man was arrested in the city of Bahía Blanca when it was discovered that his garage was selling cocaine and marijuana and charged the marketed drug through credit and debit card paymentswhose amount was deposited in a bank account, police sources reported.

With an order issued by the judge of Guarantees 4, Marisa Promé, at the request of prosecutor Diego Torres, members of the Illicit Drugs police carried out a raid on Fatone Street at 600 Bahía Blanca, where the suspect was arrested.

Sources of the case indicated that a motorcycle workshop operates in the place, in which drugs were also sold and where minors were employed as “satellites” or “little soldiers” to alert about any strange movement in the place.

The investigations established that the drug was collected through a posnet and that the money from the sale was deposited in a DNI account of Banco Provincia, said an investigator consulted.

Within the framework of the operation, half a kilogram of cocaine, marijuana cogoyos, 40,000 pesos, cell phones and scales, among other items, were seized. A 35-year-old man was arrested as a suspect in drug sales and taken to a police station where he will be investigated in the next few hours by the Bahía Blanca prosecutor on duty.
