Tegucigalpa , August 28, 2023, 03:56 - IA Regnum. The mayor of the city of Brus Laguna, Wilmer Wood, was detained by the security forces as a result of a large-scale operation against the drug trade in Honduras. This was reported on August 27 by the press service of the country's prosecutor's office.

“In the course of the Nutos operations, the prosecutor’s office liquidated three criminal organizations involved in the drug trade, among the detainees was the mayor of Brus Laguna,” the agency said in a statement.

It is assumed that the mayor of Brus Laguna, as an independent drug dealer, organized and oversaw the transportation of about 30 tons of drugs by planes and boats.

The three criminal organizations liquidated as a result of the operation over the past five years have coordinated the reception of at least 99 planes with drugs from South America into Honduras.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that a large consignment of the drug weighing 646 kg was found by loaders while unloading bananas at the distribution center of the Albert retail chain in the village of Klecany near Prague. Employees of the distribution center of the Albert retail chain, when unloading pallets with incoming bio-bananas, found suspicious bundles among the fruits.

The police officers who arrived on a call took the packages for examination, during which it turned out that these packages contain a narcotic substance, namely cocaine.
