The jujeño José Miguel Farfán, accused of being one of the main narcos of northwestern Argentina, he was arrested yesterday in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. The special force fighting drug trafficking from the neighboring country presented it in front of the cameras with two masked soldiers. Farfán looked handcuffed and a little nervous, with a bulletproof vest on his chest. Senior commanders buttoned the bag, spoke of "a comparison of data "and" protection of the family environment ", in a captured capture in cooperation with the Argentine National Gendarmerie.

I was looking for it to start, Federal Court of Oran, for the crime of illicit badociation and narcotics transportation. But his history It's much more sinuous than that.

58 years old, registered with AFIP in the field of tomato cultivation, with a house in Tucumán, Farfán – who had a reward of half a million pesos from the Ministry of Security – figured in the case that led to the fall of former judge Raúl Reynoso, accused of protecting drug traffickers in exchange for gifts, imprisoned today thanks to a investigation by Judge Alberto Bavio and PROCUNAR, the prosecutor's wing dedicated to the continuation of drug trafficking with the prosecutor Diego Iglesias.

Reynoso was accused of illegally granting an exemption for incarceration in Farfán for a narco-related case in August 2014, with an orchestrated arrangement with a defense lawyer: he released her without even asking for her antecedents. A gendarme testified at the Reynoso trial this eThe magistrate ordered him to stop investigating Farfánwho, in 1999, was sentenced to 5 years in prison by the Oral Court of Salta for a business of 400 kilos of cocaine.

Farfán was not the only beneficiary of Judge Reynoso, who was also accused of helping other alleged bosses such as Bolivian José Luis Sejas Rosales, investigated for cocaine trafficking in its fleet of tankers.

Other magistrates have been involved with the narco chief: Judge Antonio Solá Torino, former member of the Federal Federal Court of Salta, was sentenced to six years in prison for allegedly receiving a $ 15,000 bribe from the trafficker in 2007, confirmed in February 2018 by the Provincial Supreme Court.

For the moment, Farfán has already your extradition order signed. He would come to the country in the next few hours, according to sources familiar with the matter.
