Container with phenyl-acetic acid withheld from Free Zone company

It is still not confirmed what will happen to a forty foot container that arrived in Belize in April containing an illicit substance chemical used to manufacture methamphetamine or crystal meth. The container’s final destination was a business named Gina and Angel in the Commercial Free Zone in Corozal, but despite strenuous attempts by attorneys for the company, the container with Phenyl-acetic acid has not been cleared. Customs officials told News Five today that it would be in bad faith to approve the transfer of the container to the Free Zone company because it is believed that the ultimate goal is to smuggle it into Mexico. It has since been decided that the shipment will either be withheld or escorted under guard to Mexico where it would be confiscated by authorities. Phenyl-acetic acid is what drug traffickers are using since the heat was turned up on pseudoephedrine shipping, but Belize is still being used as the transshipment point. This shipment of Phenyl-acetic acid is the first known to be brought into Belize, particularly in that amount.

    One container held, but how many will get through after lining Customs Officers and politicians pockets with silver for them to turn a blind eye?

    A large amount of phenyl-acetic acid was sent through this place with the intention of it arriving safely to the port of destination.

    Angel & Gina belongs to Angel & Gina Riveroll. Well known drug dealers with their yellow Hummer. The probably have some poor Mexican fronting his name for the company. Angel was locked up in Mexico for many years when he was busted at the Mexican border with cocaine. At the time he was in the company of Diego Witz wife. Diego Witz was just busted this week with cocaina. Makes you go hmmmmm.
