“King of Skunk”
Last December, the PF dismantled a criminal association that operated in international drug trafficking, with the support of the Military Police of the Federal District.

At the time, 43 court orders were complied with, including nine temporary arrest warrants, 14 search and seizure warrants, three precautionary measures other than prison, in addition to property constriction measures to the detriment of 17 individuals and legal entities, which include the blockade of R$ 12 million obtained from the illicit acts investigated.

During compliance with the court decisions, several luxury vehicles were seized, in addition to approximately R$100,000 in cash, seven firearms, more than 1,000 ammunition, 28 sealed cell phones, without proof of invoice, and several ampoules of anabolic steroids.

According to the investigations, it was found that companies operating in the transport of interstate moves, based in the DF, were used to transport large quantities of drugs and weapons.

The drugs were stored in warehouses linked to those being investigated and, later, destined to supply criminal groups operating in the Federal District, surrounding areas and in other units of the federation. The drugs left Colombia.
