Police said the young man was under observation for about two weeks before they arrested him. The PM suspects that there are more people involved and that the suspect was a trafficker in Goiania and Aparecida de Goiania. “The Civil Police (PC) will investigate, of course, whether this individual is just one branch of a much larger gang of drug traffickers,” Maj. Ricardo Mendes told G1 Goiania.
Under interrogation, the suspect told police that he purchased the drug in Paraguay for about U.S. $13,000. He faces 5 to 15 years imprisonment, if convicted for international drug trafficking.
