The registry, control and administration of seized property (Dircabi) yesterday asked the judicial system that Jorge Roca Suárez, aka "Roof and straw", is serving the sentence of 15 years in prison after a trial in Bolivia in 1990 for drug trafficking, said its director Marcelo Gutiérrez.
Roca Suárez was a "big hit" on drug trafficking in the 1980s, and he was even linked to Pablo Escobar. In 1990, he was arrested in the United States where he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for cocaine treatment and tax evasion. He was released and arrived in Bolivia in April, where he was also imprisoned for illicit profits.
The Second Criminal Division of the Superior Court of Justice approved and upheld the conviction of Jorge Roca Suarez, who was tried in absentia and was convicted of the crime of trafficking in controlled substances under Law 1008, and he was sentenced to a term of deprivation of 15 years in the prison of San Pedro ", explained Gutierrez.
" This sentence is fully valid and therefore the legal direction of the Ministry of Government, yesterday presented a memorial to the The seventh sentence court of La Paz seeking the punishment of imprisonment against Roca Suárez will be issued, "he said at a press conference.
Roca Suárez was declared in 1990 rebellious and In absentia to the Bolivian law after the drug dealer disappeared from the country.
"Roof and straw" was later arrested in the United States, where he expiated 35 years of imprisonment.
The Supreme 256 of 1992 of 11 August ratified the first hearing, which imposes the penalty of 15 years imprisonment to be filled in the panopticon of San Pedro, computable since 2018.
In addition, 10,000 days, fine equivalent to 1,000 bolivianos a day and confiscation of seized money of 42,000 bolivianos.
Gutiérrez has established that this case which was reviewed under Law 1008 in La Paz bears no relation to the process he faced in the United States, where he was sentenced to 35 years in prison for crimes of criminal badociation to make cocaine.
For this reason and to serve his sentence in the San Pedro de La Paz prison, Roca, arrested on January 13, 1990 in California was sent to Bolivia last April.
However, Roca, who was serving his sentence until May 31, 2021, processed a prison benefit in front of a criminal executive judge because he had respected a large part of his sentence was pronounced by a US judge, said the jurist.
He reported that the relatives of the convicted person tried to remove the trial procedures against Roca Suárez, for the commission of the crime of illicit trafficking of controlled substances. In this process, he said, they were also sentenced, Julio Rodríguez Arteaga and José Moisés Terrazas Saavedra, who served 15 years in prison for cocaine trafficking in Mexico
. "The County Courts and the Court Supreme Court of Justice were sentenced pending the execution of Mr. Jorge Roca Suárez, "said Gutiérrez.
