Congratulations to the investigators of the DNCD. How fast they addressed their efforts and revealed the information, including names, on this case. They should act with the same proficiency on big and sounded scandals.

Cocaine going out is much less of a problem than cocaine that is coming in.

Poison the whole shipment and let it go. if there is no costumers left maybe the drug trade will be not profitable.
