The cocaine figure differs between the two accounts: El Litoral gives 1,321.6 grams across three houses, while CFIN gives 1,706.7 grams across five, the two larger ones including two further homes; cocaine is not recorded in the cannabis figures either way.
The cannabis plants differ: El Litoral reports three marijuana plants at one house, while CFIN reports five cannabis plants plus 176 grams of marijuana in total; the report records the three plants El Litoral supports and the 176 grams CFIN supports, and notes the five-plant total in open questions.
El Litoral describes three simultaneous raids; CFIN and the government statement describe five allanamientos, the extras in two more homes, with two further people merely notified and in the freedom state.
No charges or court outcome were reported; the six detained were to appear before a charge-imposition hearing the following week.
El Litoral describes the operation as requested by prosecutor Arturo Haidar alone; CFIN and the government statement credit both Arturo Haidar and Eric Fernández of the specialized microtrafficking unit.
