An international network of drug traffickers in Peru was dismantled, while 2.3 tons of pure cocaine were seized.
4 people, among them an Albanian, are arrested, as the Peruvian La Republica reports.
It is about the Italian businessman Pasquale Bifulco, 49 years old, a leading exponent of the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta and belonging to the Ietto-Cua-Pipicella mafia gang, 28-year-old Albanian Kadri Cjoci (He was one of the leaders of the network), Luis Alberto Narbasya Huayanay, 57 years old (from whom 5 kilograms 300 grams of cocaine, two vehicles, and communication equipment were seized) as well as Elmer Cárdenas Ramírez, 56 years old, from whom a shotgun, a pistol and a revolver were confiscated. It is learned that the drugs were destined for Italy and Germany.
The operation was called 'Poseidon' because it is the continuation of the one carried out in Máncora, on August 29, where Alex Soria Trujillo, Edwin Pariona Oroncoy, Manuel Garcia Sifuentes, Fredy Reyna Mori and Marco Macedo Ushiñahua, with 448 kilograms, were arrested. The investigations were carried out in coordination with the DEA, the Federal Criminal Investigation Police-BKA of Germany and the Italian Police, and Guardia Di Finanza.
