A money laundering investigation against a drug trafficking organization, allowed the seizure of one ton of cocaine in Rotterdam, Holland, which was sent from Turbo, Antioquia.
In addition, the Dutch authorities, in coordination with the Attorney General’s Office and DEA, allowed the drug discharge in Rotterdam and the subsequent monitoring, managed to capture 4 members of the Dutch drugs trafficker network that had negotiated the shipment with their Colombian partners.
The information exchange between DEA with the National Unit of Money Laundering and Domain Extinction allowed the beginning of a process against a drug trafficking organization operating in Antioquia, Chocó, Valle del Cauca and Cauca, under command of alias Milo, dedicated to buy coca base to several dealers in the country to crystallize it and send it by sea to Mexico through Panama and Costa Rica, with final destination to the United States and another route whose destination is Europe.
The investigation discovered that since the end of last month the organization sent a shipment to Holland, which was being coordinated from the port of Turbo on the ship St. Lucia, so careful monitoring to the network was ordered, in coordination with England, Holland and France authorities, so that the cargo was not seized until they received the drug in Rotterdam, which was the final drug destination.
At the end of the operation were captured in Holland, Mesut Subasi, Marten Veenstra, Ersin Kalay and Albert Boothe Roelof Kiers.
