How the substance would have entered Argentina
This case began in July of last year when Customs detected seven international postal shipments that had entered Argentina from the Netherlandsall of them containing vials that contained a transparent liquid substance inside that, when subjected to field tests, yielded a positive result for GBL.
As a result, the magistrate gave intervention to the Superintendency of Dangerous Drugs so that it focuses on finding the recipients of these parcels and establishing the degree of knowledge of these people regarding them and their possible participation in the crime of NSP international traffic (new psychoactive substances).
As a result of this work, it was possible to find the current addresses of these individuals and after the analysis of information assisted with field tasks that involved numerous monitoring of their daily activities, The intervening court decreed that the raids be carried out.
As a result of the procedures, the federal troops arrested four people, making it extremely striking that in addition to having several bottles of GBL in their possession, other designer drugs were also found in their homes like LSD ecstasy, kristal and ketamine, all high impact drugs hallucinogen and a large sum of money and documentation of great interest to advance the cause.
The experts clarified that GBL is difficult to detect since, due to its colorless and tasteless characteristics, it can be easily incorporated into drinks without the victim being able to notice its presence.
Even, its sedative effect is enhanced if it is ingested together with alcohol.
Given the particularity of this drug, PFA personnel had to use an electronic device recently acquired by force that makes it possible to analyze narcotics in a portable way and that allows the rapid identification of different substances, including those found.
The detainees will be investigated by Justice in the next few hours.
