A prison chief opens the void in the traffic
The arrest of the Minotaur is a six-month arrest result of PF investigation. He was captured in Santa Catarina, where control of drug trafficking from Paraguay belonged to the Peabad group. "The fact that Minotauro is here [em Balneário Camboriú] is another indication that the CCP wanted to give ground to the Peabad group," said Paraguayan prosecutor Hugo Volpe. that the CCP is today the greatest threat to Paraguay.
"We are calmer after the arrest of Minotaur, but we know that the death or imprisonment of a drug trade leader does not mean the end of the conflict," he said. said the prosecutor. "This void in power will generate conflict, we hope that they are not so bloody."
