The 11 narco bands that would cease to have if the Domain Extinction Law is approved

Narcos bosses can be behind bars and regret having been captured.But in the shadows their family or friends can continue mobilizing millions of dollars, they have cars, luxurious vessels, airplanes and all this machinery continues to turn for a simple reason: Congress still did not approve the law of extinction of domain to return to the State the goodsfrom not only from corruption but also drug trafficking.

At least 11 large bands of drug traffickers who in the last two years were disrupted in Argentina by the National Security Forces in Cooperation with Provincial Police could currently continue to expand their power despite the fact that their bosses are prosecuted or in a cell waiting.

Once confiscated, the goods of the drug traffickers are in judicial custody.A judge is expected to grant the Ministry of Security these assets in order to preserve them in a state of use while the process is substantiated.But this does not always happen and in cases where a conviction takes many years, the goods rot in judicial deposits or are retaken by relatives of criminals and drug bands continue to empower themselves.

In this context, from the Government they believe that a law of extinction of domain would imply a radical change of this situation: it assumes that the convicted ceases to have ownership over their assets, with which the network that manages loses space and power.

According to a detailed report from the Ministry of Security that Infobae accessed, the bands of detainees mobilize hundreds of millions of dollars beyond that their headers are in prison.

The domain extinction project was approved in the Chamber of Deputies in June 2016, shortly after the scandal generated by the bags with millions of dollars by José López.Its most controversial point is the one that enables the confiscation before a criminal sentence and this generates a hardly questioned delay in the Senate.The lower house was limited to federal crimes such as drug trafficking, corruption, terrorism, human trafficking, smuggling, money laundering, terrorist financing, illicit association, extortion kidnapping, the exploitation of prostitution and prostitution andChild pornography.And in general it is believed that the initiative now stopped in the Senate will only serve for corruption cases.But the truth is that the extinction of domain for narcos would have a strong practical effect on the disarticulation of these criminal gangs.

"Domain extinction is the most effective tool to get the goods to drugs and that they cannot use as working capital.Using them as working capital means that they invest something, trucks, cars, trucks.They invest the goods to do the narco -deminal business, so getting them out all of that is to generate a very strong cost, "said Patricia Bullrich to Infobae.

At the same time, the Minister of Security detailed: "Not only the drug traffickers make money to have money in them.That is why getting the goods rapid would mean very strongly to do that narcocriminal business.The domain is extinguished, which means that they are no more than their property, and that in a civil action that implies that they, the drug traffickers, have to demonstrate where they took money and goods, if they cannot demonstrate itThey take these assets regardless of how they came out in the criminal process ".

In the report of the Ministry of Security on the 11 bands of drug traffickers, a detailed list of the goods and money that moves these captured bands, under each of the following operations:
