    Mexican arrested, P6M worth of cocaine seized in Makati sting operation


    January 11, 2015 4:24pm

    A Mexican was arrested and some 2.5 kilos of cocaine — valued at around P6 million — were seized in a sting operation in Makati City Sunday afternoon.

    The operation was conducted shortly after 2 p.m. in front of a restaurant near a hotel along Makati Avenue, Radio dzBB's Cecilia Villarosa reported.

    The operation involved the Philippine National Police Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operation Task Force and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, the report said.

    Police and PDEA agents suspect the Mexican is connected to the Sinaloa drug cartel, which is also believed to be behind 84 kilos of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) seized in Lipa City in late 2013.

    Drug charges over the Lipa City bust were filed against four people — three of whom are Mexicans — believed connected to the Sinaloa cartel in February 2014.

    A photo tweeted by dzBB's Villarosa showed the vehicle involved in the buy-bust operation on Sunday.

    According to authorities, the suspect had been under surveillance for the past month, and that the cocaine was likely imported.

    It would appear that the Cartels doesn't do as well in Viet Nam.

    Vietnam sentences two Filipino drug smugglers to death


    August 29, 2014 7:28pm


    HANOI - A Philippine man and woman have been sentenced to death in Vietnam for smuggling nearly five kilograms (11 pounds) of cocaine into the communist country, reports said Friday.

    Emmanuel Sillo Camacho, 39, was found guilty at a trial in Hanoi on Thursday of carrying 18 packages of cocaine—totalling some 3.4 kilograms—to Vietnam from Brazil, the Tien Phong newspaper said.

    He was caught with the drugs at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport in 2013.

    Donna Buenagua Mazon, also 39, was sentenced to death by a court in southern Ho Chi Minh city earlier this month, after being caught with 1.5 kilograms of cocaine in December 2013.

    Communist Vietnam maintains some of the world's toughest anti-drug laws. Anyone found guilty of possessing more than 600 grams (20 ounces) of heroin, or more than 20 kilos of opium, can face death.

    Dozens of foreigners have been sentenced over drug offences, although it has been decades since a foreign national was executed in the communist country. — Agence France-Presse

    Peru drug bust seizes record 6.5 tons of cocaine


    August 29, 2014 5:35am


    LIMA - Peruvian police seized a record 6.5 tons of cocaine in a quiet coastal town this week, arresting seven Peruvians and two Mexicans suspected of trying to smuggle the load to Europe as coal, President Ollanta Humala said on Thursday.

    Authorities have raised their initial estimate of 3 tons of cocaine since uncovering the illicit cargo in a warehouse on Tuesday in Huanchaco, near the city of Trujillo in northern Peru.

    The cocaine was packed into brick-sized packets and glued inside of large chunks of coal, according to images provided by the government.

    Police, who made the bust following weeks of investigations, are still examining the load.

    The total amount of cocaine confiscated might surpass 6.5 tons, Humala said.

    "This is, without doubt, the most important blow to drug trafficking in the history of the republic," he added.

    Peru is the world's top cocaine and coca producer, according to the United States and United Nations.

    The export companies linked to the smuggling operation have been exporting coal to Spain and Belgium since at least 2011, police said.

    The suspects arrested likely belong to an important global drug cartel, said Interior Minister Daniel Urresti, declining to identify which one. Reuters
