A Convicted Man in Operation Trazador Was Removed from a National Party Councilor’s Team
Gonzalo Gómez said he immediately dismissed a member of his team after learning of his conviction in the case. According to Subrayado, the case is linked to the seizure of 300 kilos of pasta base in Brazo Oriental.
One of those convicted in Operation Trazador worked for the National Party councilor in Montevideo, Gonzalo Gómez, who announced his immediate dismissal after learning of what had happened, according to Subrayado.
In a post on X, Gómez explained that the man had recently joined his team and is the father of another young man, a friend of his, who also worked with him. There he said he had no knowledge or suspicions of any possible link to illicit activities and stated that both he and Lucio found themselves in a situation that was completely foreign to them.
The councilor also said the news took him by surprise and assumed responsibility for not having been sufficiently cautious when bringing him onto his team. He also apologized to the National Party and to his faction for the difficulties the episode may have caused.
Subrayado added that the Interior Minister, Carlos Negro, held a press conference together with police authorities to report on the seizure of 300 kilos of pasta base. According to that account, the value of the drug is around 2,000,000 dollars and is equivalent to nearly 3,000,000 doses.
