A police officer in Salta, Argentina, has been sentenced to seven years in prison for his involvement in a drug trafficking operation. The officer was found guilty of participating in a criminal band attempting to transport nearly 20 kilograms of cocaine hidden within a car’s fuel tank. Uniquely, the officer reportedly used a game of “rock, paper, scissors” to determine who within the group would be responsible for transporting the illicit cargo. This unconventional method of delegation did not prevent his conviction. The sentencing highlights corruption within law enforcement and the lengths to which drug traffickers will go. Authorities continue to investigate other individuals connected to the operation, seeking to dismantle the entire network. This case underscores the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in the region.
