Colombia prosecution officials caught selling seized drugs

Colombia prosecution officials caught selling seized drugs

written by Thomas Graham May 4, 2016

Colombia arrested eight prosecution officials who had allegedly been stealing and selling huge amounts of seized drugs, the National Police said Wednesday.

The men from an alleged syndicate in the CTI, the technical investigation unit of the Prosecutor General’s Office, have been arrested in the provinces of Cauca (southwest) and Cundinamarca (center).

They have been charged with drug-trafficking, conspiracy, embezzlement and fraud.

“The investigators of the CTI carried out important drug seizures which, once they had been presented to the authorities, were switched for veterinary medications and sold illegally”
