Federal Police search two properties in Pergamino over alleged drug sales
Argentine Federal Police carried out two raids in the José Hernández neighbourhood of Pergamino as part of a judicial investigation into alleged drug trafficking, according to laopinionline.ar. Officers seized items of interest to the case and notified a woman linked to the proceedings.
The operations were coordinated by Prosecutor's Office 9, headed by prosecutor Juan Tomás Godoy, together with the Drugs Coordination Unit, led by Selva Correa. The intervention was based on evidence gathered during the preliminary investigation.
The operation was carried out by the Superintendence of Federal Investigation Agencies and by the Federal Operational Unit Division Pergamino, departments of the federal force. The raids were authorised by Guarantees Court No. 3 and were conducted with the involvement of the Investigation and Prosecution Unit No. 9.
The investigation was built over a period of field work that made it possible to identify the two properties in the José Hernández neighbourhood as alleged points of illicit activity. Investigators carried out surveillance and monitoring tasks to establish movement patterns, possible connections and other relevant information before requesting the corresponding judicial orders.
During the raids, officers conducted a thorough search of both homes. The objects seized were incorporated into the judicial proceedings and will be analysed to determine their potential evidentiary value within the case file.
In the course of the operations, a woman was notified of the opening of proceedings based on her alleged involvement in the facts under investigation. For the time being she remains subject to the case file, which does not imply a declaration of criminal liability. Her procedural status and the scope of her participation will be determined based on measures ordered by the court in subsequent stages.
From the Federal Police it was indicated that the operations are part of actions aimed at combating drug trafficking as part of investigations into these types of offences.
The case remains in the investigation phase. Authorities will analyse the seized material and seek to establish whether there are other people involved or whether the properties searched were part of a larger structure.
