Passenger detained in Orán with more than 10 kilograms of cocaine in his luggage
According to argentina.gob.ar, the operation took place at San Ramón de la Nueva Orán Bus Terminal, where officers from the Federal Operational Unit Division (DUOF) Orán were carrying out population and vehicle checks.
During the inspection of a long-distance bus, agents identified a passenger who displayed a marked state of nervousness. With judicial authorisation and in the presence of witnesses, they searched his luggage and found 10,470 kilograms of cocaine distributed in several packages.
The wrappings featured a relief with the image of a dolphin, a detail that could link the substance to drug trafficking organisations active in the region.
The Federal Fiscal Unit of Orán, headed by Dr. Luis Valencia, ordered the detention of the individual and the seizure of the drugs. The detainee, of Bolivian nationality and aged 25, was placed at the disposal of the courts for breach of Law 23.737.
