A 16-year-old girl received seven years of internment for unlawful drug trafficking linked to storing and distributing methamphetamine and marijuana in Colón district in La Libertad Oeste.[1] The First Juvenile Court of San Salvador imposed the internment measure after examining the evidence presented in the case.[1] Investigators found she used a house in Colón to keep and distribute unlawful substances, and officers captured her in flagrante during a raid last June.[1] Prosecutors did not publish her identity, withholding it under protection rules for minors facing trial.[1] A second Salvadoran account confirms that a 16-year-old was sentenced to seven years of internment for unlawful trafficking.[2]
During the procedure authorities seized 220.5 grams of marijuana with an estimated value of USD 778.36.[1] They also seized 2,695.5 grams of methamphetamine valued at USD 94,342.50, a non-cannabis amount excluded from the cannabis figures.[1] The prosecution put the total commercial value of the confiscated drugs at USD 95,120.86, most of it from the methamphetamine.[1] The same Salvadoran account reports she was captured in June in Colón with 220.5 grams of marijuana and 2,695.5 grams of methamphetamine at a combined value of $95,120.86.[2]
The official account did not say whether other people were investigated nor where the girl will serve the measure.[1] No exact June raid date was published, and the case was handled in San Salvador juvenile jurisdiction as part of anti-trafficking action in La Libertad.[1]
