The 299 wraps of cocaine and the cash are separate from the cannabis and are not counted as cannabis quantities.
The name of the neighbourhood, colonia or district in Comayagua was not published in the opened text; only the city is known.
The police do not name the detainee, his charges or which court handles the case, so no court stage is recorded.
