This Saturday, March 19, the Peruvian National Police (PNP) captured a plane from Bolivia that was used to transport drugs. The vehicle had been abandoned on a clandestine airstrip built in the district of Curimana, in the province of Padre Abad, Ucayali region.
The police located the ship thanks to extensive intelligence work carried out by the Special Investigations Division (Divinesp) and the Special Investigations Department (Depinesp) of Dirandro de Pucallpa.
But the aerial vehicle was not completely abandoned. There was a group of armed people guarding the place, who, when they noticed the presence of the PNP agents, escaped taking advantage of the thick forest. They fled with the help of two boats with engines called 'small-small'. It was reported that they could be members of a criminal organization dedicated to drug trafficking.
Law enforcement took control of the site and found that the plane was a Cessna model, registered CP-1832. In addition, it was detailed that he had faults in the propeller and front landing gear that could not be repaired. Therefore, they proceeded to destroy it.
USED FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING
Thanks to intelligence, the PNP learned that this ship could have been used to collect around 350 kilos of drugs belonging to a drug trafficking mafia operating in the area. In addition, it could have been used to move the drug abroad.
The intervention was supported by troops from the Division for Maneuvering Against Illicit Drug Trafficking (Divmctid) and the Police Aviation Directorate (Diravpol) of Pucallpa. The provincial prosecutor of the Second Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Drug Trafficking Crimes, Getulio Fausto Córdova Cuellar, also participated.
ALFONSO CHAVARRY DENIED HAVING COMPLAINTS OF DRUG TRAFFICKING: “LET ME WORK!”
The Minister of the Interior, Alfonso Chávarry, served as head of the Cajamarca police region, and had been accused of a series of complaints. However, within days of taking office, he flatly denied any complaints of drug trafficking.
“I have to tell you that if I were tainted or had a record I would not have applied to this position. I have been working in Sucamec and other entities, I have no sentence for drug trafficking, please, they are hurting me in this regard,” the minister said.
He said that he has more than 30 congratulations on the order of the Peruvian National a href="https://www.infobae.com/tag/policia-nacional-del-peru/" rel="noopener noreferrer" Police when he was active in the fight against drug trafficking, terrorism, and against crime.
He also ruled out that he has any allegations or accusations of drug trafficking. “That is something delicate, I have reported these cases of drug trafficking, I have done operations, I have captured criminals, drug traffickers, we have seized drugs, we have never been involved in this,” he said.
Chavarry said he will review that accusation about drug trafficking, and those who say he has a complaint, he will ask them to prove it. “Let me work! The press has always supported me, since before I have worked with many of you,” he said.
On the allegations of abuse of authority, the minister pointed out that this is possible, because the operational policeman, who works on the street, is subject to complaints, criticism and various things. “I have had complaints, but at no time have I been sentenced. I don't have any, I'm not tainted,” he said.
He also referred to the issue of promotions, and he assured that he will support his staff, who is the base and who gets the dirt out, the good policeman, the one who works in the operational part, I will even give him promotions, he promised.
