Ministry of National Security connects plane to drugs
It has been two weeks since the suspected drug plane was discovered submerged in waters south east of Northern Two Caye in the Lighthouse Reef atoll on April ninth. The evidence retrieved from the plane links it to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the lanterns on the island indicate that the pilot was attempting a night landing. A body found floating in the sea the same weekend in the area with U.S. and Mexican currency. That person remains unidentified tonight. It has not been a case that the authorities have spoken out publically about, that is, until today. Carlos Perdomo, the Minister of National Security, says that it is not that the authorities were conspiring to keep it under wraps, but the media linked the plane, the body and the drugs floating in the sea at more or less at the same time that the police did.
Carlos Perdomo, Minister of National Security
“I think the issue with the plane, we did report it in the police report that we found the plane but we had to make connections to that plane to drugs because when we found the plane it was clean under the ground. Then before we found the plane we had found a body floating so the body floating was reported but it was not connected to any plane until two days after we found the plane so we started to put a connection from that body to the plane. Then when we found the plane we started to make investigations on the island and so forth and we found out more then another day later we found fourteen kilos or something floating in the sea. So it took the police about five days of events to put everything together so it was not like hiding anything, it’s just that we reported it piece meal the way we found it except that the press and the police began to put it together at the same time.”
It was not clear his opening answer “we did report it in the police report” ???
The police reported to the police???? It does not adds up.
Why a police release was not issued???
In addition, the drugs was reported before the finding of the plane…
Mr. Perdomo,
Who has been charged? NOBODY
When? NEXT CENTURY
Belizeans are smart people….
shame on you perdomo.. you cannot even speak good english.. why can’t u get it that you are incompetent in doing ur job. step ur sorry ……z down and give ur portfolio to someone that can handle the job..
are you shore Mr perdomo? you don’t think your police wanted to make money that’s why they wanted to keep it secret.out of the loop?
and they report 14 kilos but I think a plane will not come to belize just for 14 kilos
so’
oh ,yes perdomo we all believe you ….! very informative eh. ha we hope the result come out later more into it but this seems to sketchy still.
Marie: the word you should’ve used is “sure” — as in, are you certain, Mr. Perdomo?
“Shore” refers to the beach or coastline.
English Teacher:We are all subject to make mistake furthermore you know what Marie mean.
Perdomo needs to give me his job if it took him that long to link the body they foud floating with the Aircraft.That person must had some identification on his person or inside the aircraft.Come on Perdomo.
Hmmm…. something smells very fishy here…..why did they hide the discovery of a crashed drug plane from the public or media?? Who does the airstrip belong to?? Where are the rest of the drugs?? Are our police force so imcompetent?? or is this entire police corruption thing even bigger that we thought????
Dont Tink anythign would have been said if it was not for the media………….
