Peru seizes alleged drugs kingpin

Mr Zevallos has never been convicted of a crime

Police in Peru have arrested a former airline owner whom the United States accuses of being a "drugs kingpin".
Fernando Zevallos is suspected of cocaine trafficking, murder and witness tampering, Peru's state attorney for drugs crimes told Associated Press.

He is already being tried in Peru over an attempted shipment of cocaine to Mexico in 1995, which was foiled.

He maintains his innocence, reportedly saying he was the victim of abuse of authority as he was taken into custody.

Peruvian television showed him being led handcuffed into the headquarters of the police anti-drugs unit on Saturday.

Informant

Mr Zevallos was placed on a US list of suspected drugs traffickers in June of last year.

His US assets and those of his airline, Aero Continente, were frozen, leading to its collapse.

Coca - the raw material for cocaine - is grown in Peru

Under US legislation, people placed on the US list of drug traffickers and their businesses are denied access to the American financial system.

Mr Zevallos has previously been accused of trafficking cocaine, laundering money, tampering with witnesses and ordering murder, but has never been convicted.

The latest arrest appears to be linked to the trial of drugs trafficker Jorge Chavez, reportedly an enforcer for Mr Zevallos.

Mr Chavez pleaded guilty to drugs charges in Miami 10 years ago and became an undercover informant, AP reports.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration says it has launched more than 30 investigations into Mr Zevallos.

He insists he is the victim of character assassination, overzealous US drug agents and business rivals.

Sure I got some nice links for you folks here:

Drugs charges for Guatemala tsar

The US says Guatemala is a major staging post for cocaine
Guatemala's top anti-drug investigator, Adan Castillo, has been charged in the US with drug-trafficking.
Mr Castillo, who is accused of conspiring to import and distribute cocaine in the US, was detained after arriving in the country.
His deputy and another investigator were also arrested and indicted.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration said the arrests followed a four-month investigation in the United States and Central America.
'Strong blow'
Mr Castillo was in the US state of Virginia for a training course on how to fight drug trafficking through ports when he was arrested, Guatemalan Interior Minister Carlos Vielman said.
The arrests were "a strong blow to the infiltration of organised crime in the structures of the Guatemalan government," Mr Vielman said at a news conference in Guatemala City.
US officials confirmed the arrest.
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Mr Castillo said he was frustrated in his job because corruption in the Guatemalan government made fighting drug smugglers impossible, and that he was ready to quit after just six months in his post.
Guatemala is a major staging post for cocaine that is trafficked from Colombia to the US.
US officials believe 75% of the cocaine that arrives in the US travels through Guatemala.

So the story goes!
Yep, there is a lot of money involved and as long as money can be made on drug trafficking as long the folks will take their risks. Especially in countries like Guatemala where people dream of a better world and maybe of being in the USA.
Mr Castillo, you should have shared with the CIA, they need money as well for their black budgets and other activities no goverment member should know about.
Cheers, bless the world!!!

My Hun came home really upset with the way she was treated at the police station and she wanted to sue them for embarresment ill treatment and so on.
Here comes the truce; you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent.
The verse that you are innocent until proven guilty it something that belongs since quite sometime already to the past.
Looking at my Hun how she saw the situation made me realize once more how most of the folks live behind it all. They still believe that such movie shit only happens to people who have some dirt on them and that it can't happen to them, but only until the times comes when they are at wrong place at the wrong time, then they finally realize that they can be treated shitty as well by the officers of the law.

Piece, open your mind and get real!!!

The cops knocked on the door this morning and I thought "what?"
I mean since I know that I don't do illegal things anymore I can smile with a clean soul, but they where there and of course I was wondering like hell what they want.
They wanted to talk to my Hun!
Quite a surprise since I know that she is a real honest woman.
Anyway, first she went out to talk with them and then they all returned, “could you leave the room please” was all that was spoken to me.
Is my Hun not as honest as I thought?
I went downstairs to smoke a cigarette and thought if she might be one of those folks who have this sickness to take things in the shops without paying.
A few things went through my mind, but then, we can never be sure until we know for sure!!!
As I came back to the apartment they were still in the room and the owner of the apartment (ah yea, we’ve only rented the master bedroom here in this apartment and share the place with the owner and his family, no money no honey) spoke to me and said that it might be coz of that incident that happen at the airport.
My Hun used to work at the airport (what a surprise, eh )
That incident is still under investigation, it goes on since a couple of month already, and it is, as I don’t know of course, about a huge amount of money someone lost at they airport and was brought to the lost and found. Someone else picked up the money and had quite a good inside of the story coz he got enough knowledge about so that the folks at the airport handled the money over to him. But then afterwards the real owner came to claim the money and the money wasn’t there anymore. Ohh la-la.
Now everyone who had been working and has knowledge about this money is interrogated.
My Hun they took to the station for further blah-blah. We will stay in touch about this mater.
Here of course everyone thought that they come for me, not coz they know about my past (they don’t know), but coz of the art I carry with me on my body. Lol
Have a great time and remember, it’s not only bad boys out there, also bad gals.
I feel good coz I’m clean!!!

It might be good to know a bit more about the "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION" act in the UK and therefore I took today the following article out of http://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/, as stated and very imimportant in my view:

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

From January 2005 the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000 gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities. The Act also sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities. The term “public authority” is defined in the Act; it includes all public bodies and government departments in the UK. The BBC, Channel 4 and S4C are the only broadcasters covered by the Act.
Application to the BBC
The BBC has a long tradition of making information available and accessible. It seeks to be open and accountable and already provides the public with a great deal of information about its activities. BBC Information operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week handling telephone and written comments and queries, and the BBC’s website bbc.co.uk provides an extensive online information resource.
It is important to bear this in mind when considering the Freedom of Information Act and how it applies to the BBC. The Act does not apply to the BBC in the way it does to most public authorities in one significant respect. It recognises the different position of the BBC (as well as Channel 4 and S4C) by saying that it covers information “held for purposes other than those of journalism, art or literature”. This means the Act does not apply to information held for the purposes of creating the BBC’s output (TV, radio, online etc), or information that supports and is closely associated with these creative activities.
A great deal of information within this category is currently available from the BBC and will continue to be so. If this is the type of information you are looking for, you can check whether it is available on the BBC’s website bbc.co.uk or contact BBC Information.
The Act does apply to all of the other information we hold about the management and running of the BBC.

Nowardays we really need to watch carefully what our rights are coz they get simply taken away step by step with all that terror stuff that goes on, and with thanks to Osama Bin Laden, gives folks like Bush and Blair toooooo much power

"Jordan Blasts"

of course most of the world's people condemme such blasts and activities, but as long as the American goverment continue with their policies in Iraq it surely will not become less bombings. How does Bush put it, "God bless America"
Ui George W. Bush, we got a whole world out there and not only America!!!

Isn't that a statement that he doesn't care about the rest of the world? Please let me know your views on that and simply mail me.
see ya
