Police arrest seven suspects from a group that sold drugs via 'hotline' and promoted cockfights in RO

In total, seven people were preventively arrested and 21 search and seizure warrants were executed. Ten people under investigation linked to the organization of illegal fights and betting received precautionary measures, such as a ban on participating in these events and maintaining contact with each other.

Between the two fronts identified during the investigation, the first operated as a "hotline" service for marijuana, cocaine and crack, with orders and deliveries coordinated in real time, defined suppliers and payments via Pix.

The second was focused on the supply and resale of marijuana, with a fixed point known as "mouth" and direct distribution to the end consumer. The police gathered records of drug sales, images of firearms and large volumes of drugs.

According to the investigation, negotiations had been taking place continuously for weeks, and those involved were closely monitoring the dynamics of the faction in the municipality.

Suspects in the narcotics group may face charges of drug trafficking and association for drug trafficking, crimes with a combined maximum sentence of 25 years in prison. Work continues with the analysis of the seized material.
