Overview
- Authorities reported five adults were arrested near the facility, and a 17-year-old was later detained following forensic analysis of seized phones.
- Items seized included three drones, a motorcycle, narcotics, night-vision binoculars, knives and materials used to transport contraband.
- The investigation began after the Servicio Penitenciario de Córdoba used newly installed systems to detect unmanned aircraft in real time over the prison perimeter.
- A first operation in mid-November near the complex recovered phones, drone batteries, thread and prohibited substances but resulted in no arrests.
- The adult suspects were charged with asociación ilícita, and the Antinarcotics Prosecutor’s Office opened a parallel narcotrafficking case under District 11 prosecutor José Alberto Mana.
