‘He had made 54 shipments since 2018 to countries such as Uruguay, Argentina, Vietnam, China, Brazil, Belgium, France, Australia, Poland, Greece, among others’, assured in a press conference the Government Minister, Eduardo del Castillo.

The Polish authorities detected and seized 440 kilos of drugs in that country last August, as a result of the exchange of information of the Plurinational State with at least three European nations and international law enforcement agencies.

In that operation in Poland, a 46-year-old resident of Mazowieckie was arrested, accused of drug trafficking with a shipment valued at 43 million dollars, and it is said that he is not the only one involved in this act.

Referring to Kevin Hernan B.M., del Castillo said that ‘one of the leaders of this criminal organization has already been captured’, and added that the investigations continue regarding this criminal network.

At the press conference, in which the minister intervened together with high-ranking officials of the Special Force against Drug Trafficking (Felcn), it was explained that Hernán B.M. used a company based in the department of Santa Cruz, to send prohibited substances to European and Asian nations.

For our Government, the fight against drug trafficking is a State priority and we have been carrying out a frontal and transparent fight against this scourge’, recently assured the vice-minister of Social Defense, Jaime Mamani.

In an interview granted to the state channel Bolivia Tv, the Vice Minister of the Government (Interior) stated that this work allowed establishing a record in comparison with previous Administrations.
