La Nación will hand over 15 properties seized in the case of cocaine mega-load
The Prosecutor's Office carried out 15 raids for the delivery of several properties that were seized and confiscated in the investigation of a mega-load of cocaine in Pedro Juan Caballero, in the department of Amambay. The properties are valued at approximately US$15 million and will be delivered to the National Secretariat for the Administration of Seized and Forfeited Assets (Senabico).
The properties are in the name of Miguel Servín, who today is charged with preventive detention. The man is accused of being the leader of the organization that carried out large-scale drug trafficking, whose destination was the European market and was linked to factions of the PCC in Pedro Juan Caballero.
The case led to the arrest of Cristian Turrini, following the verification of 6 containers for the alleged export of charcoal, but inside which hundreds of drug packages totaling 2,906 kilos of cocaine were found.

Prosecutor Lorena Ledesma, from the Specialized Unit in the Fight against Drug Trafficking, filed an accusation against Turrini and Alberto Ayala Jacquet, and asked that the case be raised to an oral and public trial. They would be involved in the network that trafficked cocaine by mimicking the drug load in packets of charcoal.
The prosecutor collected enough elements that involve the defendants in the criminal scheme, supporting the accusation through documentary, expert and testimonial evidence collected during the investigative stage.

While Servín is considered the owner of the cocaine mega-load, who allegedly coordinated drug shipments from Paraguayan ports to the Middle East and Israel. Investigators estimate that he could have used his ex-wife and his daughter, detained in Pedro Juan Caballero, and his current partner as part of the scheme to launder money from drug trafficking.
According to investigations by the Prosecutor's Office, the drug came from Bolivia, passed through Paraguayan territory where it blended in with loads of coal that were exported legally.
