A Spanish streamer dies after taking six grams of cocaine

by

The viral challenges of live substance use have claimed their first victim: it is the first documented death in Spain during a live broadcast. The macabre and significant thing about the matter is that the deceased streamer leaves the Simón Pérez circleof whom he was a kind of “protege”, and whose fall into the pit of indiscriminate consumption is being documented in chilling detail. Death live. In the early morning of December 31, 2025, Sergio Jiménez Ramos lost his life, streamer 37-year-old Barcelonan who acted under the alias “Sancho” or “Sssanchopanza”. He consumed six grams of cocaine and a bottle of whiskey in less than three hours, while a group of paying spectators watched the scene. When his brother entered the room and found the lifeless body, on the other side of the screen several users remained connected to the private video call. The Simón Pérez phenomenon. When in 2017, Simón Pérez became a viral phenomenon after starring alongside Silvia Charro in a video promoting fixed rate mortgages while evidently were under the influence of narcotic substancesit was impossible to foresee what their lives would become. Overexposure on networks and, in search of extreme monetization, a business model based on donations in exchange for increasingly dangerous challenges: throwing appliances off the balcony, ingesting one’s own urine and, of course, substance abuse. The Diplomats. The escalation of content ended up causing his expulsion from platforms such as Kick, Dlive and Pump.fun for drug violations and promotion of illegal casinos. The last step in search of a corner of the internet beyond all control is Los Diplomáticos, a private group accessible through memberships between 40 and 120 euros. In these video calls closed by Google Meet, Pérez performs degrading acts that include collective masturbation or smearing himself with excrement. Sergio Jiménez entered this orbit in October 2025, despite being under psychiatric monitoring, as confirmed by El País through sources close to the deceased. The tip of the iceberg. What happens in private video calls is just the beginning. An entire clandestine infrastructure has flourished around these closed broadcasts. According to El País, Telegram groups like “AviatorVip IV”with more than three thousand members, function as meeting nodes where viewers not only comment on what they see, but actively organize challenges, sometimes even contacting substance suppliers. The contents of these supposedly private groups are disseminated on YouTube channels dedicated to the phenomenon, which ensures the continuous arrival of new curious people. The Graven case. The death of Sergio Jiménez is the first in Spain, but not in Europe. Just a few months earlier, in August 2025, French streamer Raphaël Graven, known as Pormanove, He died after enduring twelve consecutive days of humiliation and physical attacks broadcast live. Two men subjected him to a spectacle of continuous degradation while his audience watched without intervening. It also broadcast on Kick, the same platform that would expel Simón Pérez and Silvia Charro after this death. Both deaths share the same pattern: individuals in a vulnerable situation (economic or psychological, as in the case of Jiménez) who agree to expose themselves to mortal risks in exchange for immediate money. The fundamental difference with controversial television formats lies in immediacy: here there are no producers, medical insurance or prior controls. Just a direct transaction between those who pay to see suffering and those who need the money enough to risk their lives, with the consequent lack of control. And both cases occurred after regulated platforms closed their channels, taking refuge in digital spaces without any type of supervision. Zero responsibilities. Simón Pérez’s reaction after learning of death illustrates the moral complexity of this matter. In a live video on YouTube, he stated: “I have a clear conscience, it could have happened to me, it happened to him.” He claimed to have warned Jiménez about the dangers, recommending that he leave Telegram… and immediately promote memberships to his own private groups. The Mossos d’Esquadra keep the investigation open and a series of questions literally unprecedented to date must be resolved: was there incitement or necessary cooperation on the part of those who financed and specifically requested the challenge? Where does the responsibility lie? Private video calls, by their very nature, escape the control of the platforms and although Jiménez’s family is considering taking legal actionthe dispersion of responsibilities makes it very difficult to point to a clear culprit.

While everything is going through the roof, a product is cheaper than ever in Spain: cocaine

by

Those who are dedicated to probing the coca market have encountered a curious phenomenon: while the CPI rises and the prices of products such as the coffee either cocoacocaine undertakes the reverse path. Its cost seems to be in free fall. If a few years ago there was talk of more than 30,000 euros per kilogram of white powder, today there are sources that place it at barely 13,000a collapse that also coincides with an apparent increase of traffic and a high consumption. A difficult equation to solve. What do the figures say? It is not easy to talk about cocaine trafficking and the price. There is data and people dedicated to studying it, but for obvious reasons much of the information available is based on estimates. I shared the last one a few days ago The Catalan Newspaper in an extensive report in which he assures that right now a kilo of cocaine on the black market is around 13,000 euros. The same newspaper recalls that not so long ago a kilo brick was around 20,000 euros, but if you use the newspaper archive you will find information which show that a mere decade ago it was priced at between 27,000 and 29,000 euros in the Rías Baixas or even above 30,000 in Madrid and Valencia. What’s more, just a few months ago The Voice of Galicia assured that the official reference with which the Ministry of the Interior worked when calculating the value of the seized drugs set the value of a kilo at just over 30,500 euros. Is it something new? No. And that’s the curious thing. The media has been reporting on the drop in the price of coca for more than a year, sometimes with slight swings. Now does it The Newspaperbut a year ago I did it the Galician press and in 2023 it had the same message ABCwhich already at that time included the words of Fernando Iglesias, head of the Customs Surveillance Service in Galicia: “Its price has plummeted and that leads to a brutal offer.” “Cocaine prices have been devalued by almost half compared to just a few years ago, and that is a very clear indicator of the current abundance of this drug,” agreed the head of the Galician Foundation against Drug Trafficking. According to the data what he was driving at the time ABCthe kilo of Colombian coca that 20 years ago was paid for 30,000 euros had gone to price 17,000. Prices, however, always refer to a kilo. Curiously, this accelerated cheapening of drugs does not seem to have transferred to the street. Where the gram still costs the same than before: it remains around the 50 and 60 eurosdespite the fact that those who handle large quantities of drugs do so at a much lower cost. Are there more trends? Yes. Again they are based on estimates and indications, but they are just as interesting. The first tells us about the type of drug that is consumed. Not only has a kilo of coca become cheaper, it also seems to be purer. That at least is what emerges from the data from Energy Control, an agency dedicated to analyzing samples delivered by anonymous buyers. Their studies show that, on average, the samples that arrive have a purity that exceeds 70%. Other studies They have also noted an increase in purity. What about consumption? If there is a clear (and relevant) trend, it is the one that tells us about demand, which can be analyzed based on two key clues: studies on consumption and seizures of caches. In the first case (demand), the European Drug Report 2025 stands out, which reveals that Spain is the country with a highest percentage of population that has taken coca at some point in their life. The figure here reaches 13.3%, well above France and Denmark (9.4%). Do we have more clues? Yes. The European study, presented in June, slid that there are indications that consumption is increasing in the EU and even advised administrations to prepare for a rebound in demand for treatments. The percentage of people who admit to having tried the white powder also has been increasing over the last few years. The latest EADES survey (2024) indicates that 13% of individuals from 15 to 64 years old admit having used cocaine at some time, which marks the maximum in the historical series. In 2022 that indicator marked 11.7% and if we go to the early years of the 2000s the data was even lower. The Man Project Observatory also has noted its increase among users seeking to detoxify: in a matter of a decade it has gone from being the main addiction of 27% of users to extending its shadow to reach approximately 41%. What about seizures? They are another thermometer. At the end of the day, whether more or fewer caches are ‘hunted’ depends on the authorities’ aim, but also on the intensity of traffic. The Newspaper remember that the police only manage to seize a relatively low percentage of all the drugs that arrive at the ports. In the absence of more updated data, the 2024 Annual Drug Statistics published in July by the Intelligence Center against Terrorism and Organized Crime (CITCO) shows that last year Interior recorded an increase in cocaine seizures of 5.2%, which places them at approximately 123 tons. “There is more cocaine than ever”recognize police sources to The Newspaper about the situation that exists in cities like Barcelona. The same medium specifies that in 2023 and 2024 Customs Surveillance located just over 60 million tons of coca hidden in containers arriving by sea from South America. The reason for these data? One possibility is a change in routes that reduces the volume traveled through Holland and Belgium and places Spain as a gateway to Europe. What about the prices? If demand does not seem to be suffering… Why are prices falling, at least in the channels where kilos are moved (another … Read more

In the midst of the cocaine furor, in 1990 they thought that the message should be clearer. So they called the Ninja Turtles

by

Who better than a large group of television animation stars to warn the creatures addicted to the cathode tube of the dangers of drugs (those not related to the cathode tube). This happened in 1990, in a clash of animated titans that had international reach: here we saw it on Antena 3 and presented by the famous Reina Sofía. How and why was this firefighter idea born? Be good. There was something that the cartoons of the eighties were very good at, and that was preaching. We all remember the taglines that Mattel added to the ‘He-Man and the Masters of the Universe‘ to cushion accusations of excessive violence and in which the heroes reminded the kids to brush their teeth and listen to their elders, unless that elder was a stranger who told them to get in his car. And while here a generation was duly seasoned by the messages of disturbing anti-capitalist terrorism of the Electroduendes, in the United States they brought together successful cartoon characters of the time so that the kids could say no to drugs. To the rescue. ‘Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue’ is a 1990 half-hour animated special focused on drug prevention, which brought together popular characters from several animated series (ten in total: the Smurfs, ALF, Garfield, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Winnie from Pooh, the Little Ones, Slimer from ‘The Real Ghostbusters’, some Looney Tunes, a Turtle Ninja and Donald’s nephews from ‘DuckTales’). The plot revolves around a teenager who uses marijuana and puts his younger sister at risk due to his addiction. Cartoon characters come to life for emergency intervention. Important financing. The production was financed by McDonald’s and its children’s charity Ronald McDonald Foundation. The White House supported the invention with an introduction by President George HW Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush, something that would be repeated in different countries with different presenters. The four major American television networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) collaborated to broadcast it and the franchise owners gave up the rights for a good cause. It was produced by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and animated in Taiwan (because shit is shit) by the very prolific Wang Film Productions. To end the avalanche of stars, Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, at the time on the crest of the wave thanks to their soundtrack for ‘The Little Mermaid’ just a year earlier, composed an original song, ‘Wonderful Ways to Say No‘. In Spain, the queen. The version broadcast in Spanish-speaking countries was called ‘Cartoon stars to the rescue.’ In Spain It was broadcast by all television networks, but at different times: La Primera, the international channel, Antena 3, regional channels with programming in Spanish (Canal Sur, Telemadrid, TVG, ETB-2 and Canal Nou), Tele 5 and Canal+. There were also various presenters: in Mexico, President Carlos Salinas; in Chile, the first lady Marta Larraechea; and in Spain, Queen Sofía, at that time very involved in drug prevention campaigns and protection of the rights of minors. Avoid drugs. Since Nixon got muddied in the early seventies in a interested war on drugsthere have been relentless educational campaigns aimed at removing glamor and providing tools so that the youngest people do not fall into addictions. Often sinning naivety and Manichaeism (and this cartoon special has plenty of both), many of its slogans have remained embedded in pop culture: ‘Just say no‘, ‘This is your brain in drugs‘… and in Spain the legendary “Avoid drugs” (which at the very least generated a great song by Esteban Light) and “Say no to drugs“, with cocaine ray worm spot included.

Mexico has declared war on a smuggling that is breaking the Chinese market: the “Cocaine del Mar”

by

A little over a year ago, in June 2024a Mexican National Guard team was watching the Tlaquepaque bus station in Jalisco, when something curious happened. Suddenly one of the dogs trained to detect drugs began to sniff two cardboard boxes located in the officia of a messaging company. As they approached, the agents found that it smelled strange, as a “decomposition product”, so they decided to open the packages. Inside there was no coca, nor hashish, nor weapons, but 80 vexigas Fish dehydrated. The fact is that these buches belonged to a very specific species, the Totoaba Macdonaldiand were not any pieces either. As much as they had bad appearance and poured those 80 veils, which together weighed around 18 kilos, they could have sold for 360,000 dollars In the Chinese black market. For something they are known as “Cocaine of the sea”. Totoaqué? Totoaba Macdonaldi. His name may not be familiar to us in this part of the world, but he is well known in his place of origin, in The coasts of Mexico. To be more precise the species is endemic to the Alto Gulf of California and attracts attention for its size. A totoaba can reach the two meters100 kg of weight and 30 years of life. If for something it is (sadly) famous however it is for its swim bladderor buche, the organ that facilitates flotability. Why’s that? Because in certain regions of China it is considered a treasure, a Delicatesen coveted by their alleged Medicinal properties and that quotes stratospheric values in the black market. Among other uses and despite the fact that there are no solid investigations that demonstrate their goodnessin the Asian giant Totoaba buches are used to make soups that supposedly improve articular pains and relieve the discomfort of pregnant. It is so popular in the country that they are even used as an investment, luxury gift or even dowry. And how much does it cost? Quite. It is not easy to specify it because the price of Totoaba’s bladder is closely linked to the Chinese black market, but a quick search arrives on Google to confirm that it is a luxury merchandise. In 2017 the BBC I calculated that the kilo of Buche could easily exceed 8,500 dollars. The same figure contributed recently the Nikkei agency in An article On the vexigas introduced to smuggling in the Asian market. Others go further and talk about $ 20,000 per kilo, 2,200 euros for just 100 grams or even 40,000 euros for the vexigas of the most desired and most desired specimens. There are those who even slide figures still higher. Is it a problem? Yes. The high demand has submitted to the species at such a pressure that the Mexican government has had to take action on the matter. In the 70s prohibited its fishing, in 1991 It was officially declared in danger of extinction and its name has passed, among other documents, to the list of the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES). It also appears in the “Red List” of the Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), whose last evaluation is 2020. There is a vulnerable species. And how is it now? In A statement Published at the end of June, the Mexican government recalls that in the twentieth century Totoaba fishing grew “without control to reduce its population and take it to the edge of extinction” and recognizes that the species is still stalked by smuggling. However, there are some signs that invite moderate optimism. Protection measures and especially repopulation work are helping “little by little” to recover the species. A month ago, in fact, the authorities released 40,000 young in Baja California Sur. In total, in that region about 270,000 have already been released. Are there more measures? Yes. Mexican authorities also carry out controls such as the one that allowed to requisition 80 bucho Last year at the Jalisco Bus Station. Not long after the National Guard and the Customs Agency intercepted another 75 pieces In the Customs of Sonoyta, Sonora. Last March the authorities presumed A new ‘blow’ When removing hundreds of meters from Enmalle networks and dozens of copies of Totoaba on the coasts of the Alto Gulf of California. And at the political level? The species is also part of the Mexican political debate. Over the last years the authorities They have been profiling The legal framework that protects the species and in spring a government commission approved A reform package For that same purpose. Your goal? Regulate the tariff codes that would apply to an export, maintaining, ensures digital road map, the veto to the commercialization of buchors. A few weeks ago the Nikkei agency revealed That Mexico has decided to partially raise the veto to the export of the species, although it speaks exclusively of the meat of specimens of fish farm. The measure is accompanied by a stricter monitoring of the merchandise to prevent its smuggling. Cocaine of the sea? Maybe it sounds excessive, but in recent years the totoaba has earned the nickname of “Cocaine of the sea”. And it makes enough sense. Not only for his high pricealso for the consequences of demand in China. The lucrative business of the Totaba fish illegally and its price in Asia has caught the attention of organizations dedicated to drug smuggling. “The posters realized that these Chinese merchants won a lot with the jellyfish, the Totoaba buche, the sea cucumbers, the abult … and these economies began to penetrate to dominate them,” Explain to The country Felbab-Brown, from the Brookings Institute and an organized crime expert. At the beginning of the year the CBC chain revealed A report of the agency and border services of sample how the networks of Chinese organized crime and the Mexican cartels are resorting to the Canadian ports to exchange buffers and precursors of the fentanyl. Are there more factors at stake? The answer is affirming again. There is another involuntary protagonist who … Read more

More cocaine is being manufactured and selling than ever around the world. The UN has a clear guilty: Colombia

by

If we go outside and take one hundred adults, it is likely that six have consumed some drugs recently. This reflects The last report The UN about narcotics, which slides an even more interesting idea: although cocaine is not the most popular narcotic or consumed its global market is beating records and its production has grown almost 34% in just one year. It is an alarming fact and focuses the focus In a specific country: Colombia. A fact: 316 million. United Nations wanted to celebrate International Day for the Fight against Drugs (June 26) with A report that updates consumption data. And they are not exactly good. According to the figures that the agency manages, in 2023 about 316 million people were drugged. It is bad fact for its enormous volume, but also because of the trend it reflects. That figure represents 6% of the adult world population, between 15 and 65 years. Only a decade ago that same percentage was barely exceeded 5%. A business in record figures. UN data also help to understand what people are “places”. The most appealed drug is cannabis, with 244 million of users, followed by opioids (61 million), amphetamines (30.7) and already cocaine in fourth place, which in 2023 consumed 25 million people. Although it is not the majority or the most widespread, the report pays special attention to this last narcotic for how its market evolves. “Production, seizures and consumption reached new maximums in 2023, becoming the greatest market growth with the highest market growth,” They warn from the United Nations Office against drugs and crime (UNODC) before moving on to the figures: in 2023 his illegal production shot at 3,708 tonsalmost 34% more than the previous year. That trend is a reflection of demand. If in 2013 they consumed 17 million people, in 2023 they were already 25. To hunt new markets. The UNODC Slide Another key idea. It is not just that illegal production has fired more than 30% in one year or consumption grows 47% throughout the last decade. To these handicaps it is added that drug traffickers are looking for new markets in which to grow. “They are finding new markets in Asia and Africa. Violence and competition that characterize the illegal scope of cocaine, previously confined to Latin America, is expanding to Western Europe as organized crime groups of Western Balkans increase their influence on the market,” insists. That trend has come accompanied by more seizures. In just a five years (2019-2023) they have shot 68% to mark a record of 2,275. Colombia, in the focus. How does that increase in cocaine in circulation explain? Where is it being cultivated and why? One of the keys is given by UNODC in Another report Published last October and focuses on a very specific production focus: Colombia. The reason? Their data shows that in 2023 the cultivation of the coca bush increased there by 10%, to around 253,000 ha with a potential cocaine production of 2,664 metric tons. A problem that grows … and expands. “This represents a potential increase of 53% in the production of cocaine compared to 2022 and marks the tenth consecutive year, since 2013, in which estimates of potential cocaine production have increased in the country,” Point out The international organization, which warns of another interesting phenomenon: coca grows … and expands. Unlike what happened during the 2021 and 2022, when the increase in production was concentrated in Putomayo, in 2023 the crops were strengthened in the vast majority (16 of a total of 19) of the Coca producing departments. Moreover, only Cauca and Nariño brought together about half of the new surface with plantations if we compare them with those of 2022. With that backdrop, Precise Infobaethe nation concentrates 67% of the crop of coca leaf. “Production increased”. The UN connectsBoth phenomena, the greatest global production and that more surface to the crop is allocated in Colombia, and launches a notice to navigators: “updated data on performance (…) gave rise to a production estimate for the country approximately 50% higher than the previous year. It also increased the concentration of coca leaf production and the manufacture of cocaine in high -performance areas.” The data of the UNODC collected by The country They find in any case that Colombia is not the only nation where coca leaf is cultivated. Not even the only one in which these plantations have gained weight. Although in Colombia they grew 9% between 2022 and 2023, until they reached 253,000 ha, in Peru they also increased slightly to touch the 93,800. In Bolivia they remain at 31,000. More cocaines, more raids. To understand the global panorama of cocaine, specifically in Colombia, it is necessary to handle some extra data. Although the cultivated area grows by police ‘courses to drug trafficking. The Colombian newspaper Time remember that in 2024 the national authorities seized 883 tons and that so far this year there are already 403. The fight against drug trafficking has also become A fundamental issue in it political debate of the country, with different positions. Price earrings. The Coca market has also experienced another phenomenon that can be seen in the streets of Spain: a deep price fluctuation. Some sources They point That in a matter of a few years the kilo has gone from costing more than 30,000 euros to get off the 15,000, a puncture that coincides with several factors, such as Colombia Stop eradicating crops sprinkling them with glyphosate, which would have influenced production. The herbicide was abandoned in 2015 for its harmful effects, but the authorities They already propose to resume it.

We are drugping the salmon with cocaine and anxiolytics. And that is causing them to behave strangely

by

Few animals have suffered both humans and a canine breed: The Pug (or Carlino). Deliberate breeding of this type of dog has given rise to all kinds of physical malformations, with a distorted anatomy (Extremely stoking skull, exposed eyes, compressed airways and dysfunctional jaws) as a result of systematic and cruel artificial manipulation. To the list of creatures to which we make life very complicated We must add another that is adapting to our taste for drugs: salmon. First it was cocaine. June 2020. The officials of the State Agency of the Environment of North-Westphaly (LANUV) ran into a disturbing scene In a German fish farming: Atlantic salmon they were agreed frantically, tried to jump out of the water and showed a chaotic behavior That, according to experts, it could only be explained by a strong feeling of discomfort. Loomed salmon. The situation arose within the framework of a species conservation project, and due to the unusual episode, it was documented in the annual report of the agency under the title of “Salmon with cocaine”. After analyzing the water from the streams that fed the tanks, they ruled out a long list of pesticides, herbicides and common drugs, until they detected two particularly striking substances: yes, cocaine and their metabolite Benzoylecgonine. A documented reality. The clear presence of cocaine in one of the nearby streams led researchers to conclude that a drug reaction could not be discarded, much less. The most plausible hypothesis pointed to a illegal discharge Wastewater in the stream channel, a practice common In Europe and the United States, where clandestine laboratories and drug trafficking networks eliminate their waste in water bodies. Far from being an isolated case, what happened in Germany joined a growing line of investigations that document how illegal drug waste present in rivers and streams directly affect aquatic fauna. In United Kingdom, SpainCentral Europe and other regions, Identified methamphetamineMDMA and other substances at levels that, although low, are enough to alter the fish behavior. A first job. A scientific study was even further: researchers intentionally exposed trout to Methaphetamine dose Similar to those detected in rivers, and observed how they developed signs of addiction, they modified their behavior and, when they were transferred to clean environments, they had symptoms of abstinence. The experiments revealed that many drugs designed to affect the human brain also interact with the neuronal systems of other speciesgenerating unpredictable consequences. And then the anxiolytics. The salmon were much more than the coca. In one unprecedented researcha team of scientists has confirmed that drug waste circulating in rivers not only reaches aquatic species, but are modifying their behavior In full nature. The study, Posted in Sciencefollowed the migration of 279 young salmon from the Atlantic on the Dal River, in Sweden, after implementing slow -release capsules with two medications commonly found in contaminated waters: CLOBAZAMan anxiolytic of the benzodiazepines family, and Tramadolan opioid analgesic. What did they find? The researchers discovered that those salmon exposed to clobazam reached the Baltic Sea in a greater proportion than those not medicated, and did it until three times faster When crossing hydroelectric dams, raffling turbines with an unusual audacity for their species. The result surprised scientists, who expected that excess of boldness to reduce the probabilities of survival. “Artificial” courage. Although in this context the reckless behavior It seemed to facilitate migration (by shortening the time of exposure to dangerous obstacles such as turbines), experts warn that this alteration of natural behavior could have deep ecological consequences. Clobazam caused fish to adopt more individualistic behavior, less gregarious, which could increase your vulnerability before the predators once in an open sea. Parallel experiments in laboratory support this idea: the medical salmon showed Less trend To form banks, an essential collective defense strategy. This tendency to separate from the group would make them more visible and easy to hunt, which raises doubts about their long -term survival capacity, something that the study could not track once the fish reached the Baltic. Silent contamination In the background, another problem. The investigation It provides a conclusive evidence that the effects observed in laboratory with psychiatric drugs (such as a lower response to fear, loss of social behavior and increased risk taking) are also produced in natural conditionsand with doses comparable to those found in real ecosystems. The finding reinforces the concern about the called “Pharmaceutical Soup” which flows through the rivers of the world: more than 900 active pharmacological ingredients have been detected in natural waters, from antibiotics to antidepressants and chemotherapeutics. Many of these drugs act on areas of the brain common to multiple speciesso that fish and other aquatic animals are exposed to non -expected side effects, dangerous combinations and interactions still very little studied. A global threat. The researcher Karen Kidd, a specialist in ecotoxicology, underlined these days that the real risk is in the Multiple substance accumulation with different effects, whose consequences together are unpredictable. For scientists, this is a problem of Planetary scope which demands a systemic response: it is urgent to develop more advanced wastewater treatment stations, capable of eliminating these compounds before they reach the rivers, as well as promoting the design of more biodegradable medications. The key, they warn, is to act before these subtle but constant changes undermine the Ecosystems balance built for millennia. Because, although technology can continue to detect alterations, only a determined action can stop the invisible deterioration of life under water. Meanwhile, among anxiolytics that make them reckless and streams contaminated with cocaine that alter their vital pulse, the millenary fight of salmon against currents and predators has added a new and unprecedented new enemy: the invisible waste of human addictions.

CBP stopped an American and a Mexican who tried to pass cocaine through the border

by

Customs agents and border protection (CBP) secured two loads of cocaine that, if they had reached the streets, they would have reached A value of 1.4 million dollars. The first assurance took place at the Brownsville International Bridge and Matamoros when A 22 -year -old American citizen resides in McAllenTexas, tried to enter the United States in a 2008 Toyota. In the vehicle 40 hidden packages were discovered that gave a weight of 41.47 kilograms. The second seizure was recorded at the Gateway International Bridge when A 27 -year -old Mexican citizen resides in MatamorosTamaulipas, tried to enter the US in a 2014 Chevrolet. The vehicle was sent to a secondary inspection for a more detailed exam after a primary inspection. In secondary inspection, with the help of a non -intrusive inspection system (NII), CBP officers They discovered hidden packages inside the vehicle. When removing them and weighing them they realized that they were a total of 7.17 kilograms of cocaine. “Our CBP officers work diligently to maintain our safe borders and use many law application tools to perform their tasks, which led to these important drug seizures,” said Tater Ortiz, director of CBP at the port of entry of entry of Brownsville CBP officers seized the drug together with the vehicles, while Special Agents of National Security Investigations (HSI) arrested the drivers and initiated criminal investigations.
