Arrest for a man who flew to the United States with a slice of cocaine tomato

New York – The authorities in the United States informed that Monday he had arrested a man who was lying at the New York John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) with a five-pound (2.2 kilogram) tomato cocaine valued at $ 160,000.

Keiter Elian Rijo Morales, 26 years old, “had ten more than spaghetti with albondigas in mind when the agents of the Office of the Aduanas and the Frontier Protection (CBP) collided with his illegal vehicle” .

Rijo Morales left New York on December 26 in a filthy procedure by Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) and agents inspected a large sheet of metal that was loaded on his label with the “Bella tomato paste” label, which resulted in another cosa.

“The CBP agents open the container and discover a white powdered substance that has a positive effect on cocaine”, the agency explained, while the man was detained for importing a controlled substance and entered the Department of National Security Investigations.

The arrest was carried out on a five-pound tomato pot (2.2 kilos) of cocaine, which in the Hubbie calf had a price of 160,000 dollars, according to the authorities.

“The contraband of illicit drugs imposes a significant amenity on our nation and the CBP has its paper on how to maintain these drugs on our part,” explains Troy Miller, director of operations in New York.

“As a unified security agency on the fronts of EE.UU., our employees are determined to protect the public from these issues,” he said.

Rijo Morales is being charged with federal drug trafficking charges and in his case will be prosecuted by the Fiscal Officer in New York District East.
