The intention of the sailors detained by introducing nearly 150 kilos of cocaine in the Navy training ship Juan Sebastian Elcano was to get most of the goods to Andalusia, from where it would be distributed. That is the primary hypothesis that at this time the researchers, who ruled during the voyage more operations in addition to the 20 kilos that gave New York a few Colombian drug dealers do work.
The three sailors involved (two Spanish and one from Ecuador) were arrested during the first call of the ship in Spanish territory, specifically for a mooring in the town of Pontevedra Bueu. However, according to Europa Press reported sources close to the investigation, the plan was not cocaine ashore in Galicia, but keep it hidden in the spare sails the boat to its final stop in San Fernando (Cádiz), where they have their basis, three sailors involved.
Researchers are now working to know what would be the 'modus operandi' of detainees to distribute the drug, in what quantities and if they were to have the cooperation of others. The judge said the proceedings secret, still be prolonged for some weeks.
What they have done is confirmed the investigation that sailors had not delivered drug in subsequent stop to New York, specifically in Dublin, Oslo and Hamburg. The Spanish authorities contacted local police even in those countries so that they were prevented to possible movements, the sources reported.
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION
International collaboration has become key to the investigation of this case. In fact, track the service provided American HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) after arresting drug dealers in New York with 20 kilos of cocaine, which ensured that the Spanish sailors had delivered during his stopover in that city. So the service of the Navy Naval Security is activated, establishing a system for the identification and control of the crew involved.
Another aspect to be clarified is the relationship they had with Colombian sailors narcos with those contacted during his stopover in Cartagena de Indias (Colombia). Were these local drug dealers who supplied them almost 150 kilos of drugs introduced to the sailors hidden among his clothes in fractional packs five to ten kilos boat. They took advantage of the movement of people during an open day on the ship for loading, researchers believe.
Between Cartagena and New York, the ship stopped in Santo Domingo, but the researchers also ruled that at that stop any drug delivery do.
Upon arrival in Spain, the detainees were transferred to Madrid military judicial authority decreeing joining the military prison in Alcalá-Meco. They are charged with the crimes of drug trafficking, crime committed by military commission for using ships or military units. The research conducted with the Guardia Civil HSI, and with the support of the Navy remain open
