Drug Dealers are set free because they already have jobs - dealing crack cocaine
Drug Trafficking in Costa Rica is a problem. As we posted a while back, unless something is done about it, Costa Rica could be another Mexico. And with the US pouring millions to fight drugs in the Central American country, is that money being used to fight drug traffic?
Well, I guess you can say, not in this circumstances!
I find the recent drug arrest not only bizarre but somewhat is disbelief! Recently, a powerful and violent Pavas drug gang, the Diablos, was targeted by police and US DEA agents.
According to AM Costa Rica, Officers from the Unidad Especial de Apoyo tactical squad spent the night hidden along the banks of a polluted stream so they could surprise gang members in the early morning.
Now this is where it starts getting interesting. Agents wanted to conduct their raid because they were wary of the gang, which is known to be armed.
Wary of a drug gang? and heaven forbid , a drug gang Armed? Sarcastically speaking, ” Never heard of such a thing!”
Juzgado Penal de Pavas jailed ONLY one of the 10 suspects ( six women and three men) the Policía de Control de Drogas brought in. Well, the judge set the nine free on the condition that they sign in with prosecutors once a month, keep a fixed home and do not leave the country
And … now the disbelief part …
The judges orderrf that suspects to keep a steady job. But drug agents say that the suspects already have steady jobs being one of the two principal suppliers of crack cocaine to the Central Valley from their Lomas del Río de Pavas headquarters.
So they were set free on their jobs of being “Certified” crack cocaine dealers…
God, this world surpises me at times
