Preventive detention orders were issued by a supervisory judge (juez de control de garantías) for seven police officers who allegedly were in charge of the security of a criminal organization engaged in adulterating national and foreign liquors. They did not plead guilty to the charges.
According to the investigation, this group of police officers actually escorted criminals´ vehicles. Last June 17, 2016 home searches were conducted by the Criminal Investigation Team (CTI) belonging to the Office of the Attorney General at their storehouses which were located at the so called “Centro Comercial La Sabana” shopping mall.
