It was my first time traveling to Europe. His destination was Florence, Italy.after a stop in Paris, France, I had to deliver a special order that was in my suitcase. However, he was unable to leave Ezeiza International Airport. Before boarding the Air France plane, they discovered what he was carrying in his luggage: nine kilograms of cocaine hidden in 18 containers shaped like oatmeal..
Since last Monday, Liliana Isabel Aguilar Bahamonde, a 33-year-old Peruvian national, has been in preventive detention on charges of attempted drug smuggling, pursuant to the resolution of the economic criminal judge Marcelo Aginski, whom she was sitting on. nation.
Before traveling to Argentina and arriving on October 31, Aguilar Bahamonde sold fried chicken from a stall on a beach in Peru.
His stay in Argentina was scheduled to last one week. Last Friday, a taxi picked her up from the hotel where she was staying at 700 Suipacha in the San Nicolas neighborhood of Buenos Aires and took her to Ezeiza International Airport.
“As is clear from the minutes of the initiation of action prepared by detectives of the investigating agency, airport security police (PSA) Last Friday, Customs Collection Management Agency (ARCA) approached the Air France customer service counter in the context of preventive controls in Terminal B of Ezeiza International Airport. They interviewed the passenger, but during the questioning the passenger gave contradictory answers.” explained in court documents.
The passenger was Aguilar Bahamonde. I had a ticket to travel on flight AF411 to Paris, France, with a connection to Florence, Italy. The Peruvian national was taken to a search room set up by the collection agency at the airport.
“Passengers’ belongings were searched. Suitcase-type items continue Several packages of oats were observed that were gray in color and irregular in texture and weight. Accordingly, after a physical examination of the contents, 18 containers tested positive for cocaine,” the resolution, signed by Judge Aguinski, states.
The suspect refused to testify during the investigation statement. She just said she had cysts on her ovaries and breasts. He also provided a password to his cell phone so investigators could “open” it and analyze it.
“It must be emphasized that the role of the accused represents a strategic link of the criminal organization surrounding these cases, and in order to take the measures ordered to this end, it is necessary to proceed with the investigation into what happened before and after the arrest of Aguilar Bahamonde occurred.Following the rules of healthy rational criticism, it is necessary to proceed with the investigation into what happened before and after the arrest of Aguilar Bahamonde occurred. Considering the way in which the substance was found to have been conditioned, we can say without a doubt that an attempt was made to conceal its existence from then on to the administration of the customs administration,” Judge Aginsky said in justifying the prosecution of the “mules”, who accused people who were being used by drug trafficking organizations to be called in to try to traffic drugs.
The judge explained: “Given that the narcotic substance did not reach its intended destination, and that this was due to the timely intervention of PSA officials, it can be concluded that the investigated facts were not completed for reasons beyond the control of the author, and it is therefore possible to conclude that the classification given is an attempt.”
Investigators were shocked by the amount of cocaine the criminal organization had hidden in the packages the suspects were planning to ship. “If it had been a test trip, the gang would not have risked ingesting nine kilograms of cocaine. The oatmeal containers were tightly closed. Perhaps they thought they would not be discovered or that something had gone wrong,” he said. nation Sources participating in the investigation.
So far, no information has been obtained from the kidnapped mobile phone possessed by the suspect that could identify the higher-ups of the organization.
The foregoing circumstances allow us, at this stage of the process, to conclude with the necessary degree of certainty the participation of defendant Aguilar Bahamonde in the facts investigated. “The connection to the tortious act is tested in the record based on the overall analysis of the evidence detailed above, which allows us to reach a conviction with the degree of certainty required at this procedural step that the named person participated in the act as an author,” Judge Aginsky said in the resolution.
