The crew of the narco sub

El Universal reports that the presumed narcotrafficers detained in Oaxaca while a minisub filled with drugs was detained/caught in natioinal waters were transferred/moved in a forceful operation to the installations of SIEDO in the Federal District.

SIEDO stands for Subprocuraduría de Investigación Especializada en Delincuencia Organizada, which is something along the lines of the Assistant Attorney of Investigation Specialized in Organized Crime (Deliquency).

Los presuntos narcotraficantes detenidos en Oaxaca, durante el aseguramiento de un minisubmarino cargado con droga en aguas nacionales fueron trasladados en medio de un fuerte operativo a las instalaciones de la SIEDO en el DF

Narcosubmarino

That little green submersible again. El Universal reports that ... La Armada de México informó que el narcosubmarino interceptado en aguas del Pacífico mexicano transportaba un cargamento de cinco toneladas 815 kilogramos de cocaína

The Mexican Navy announced that the
narcosubmarino intercepted in Mexican Pacific waters transported a cargo of five tons 815 kilograms of cocaine.













A second picture shows personnel of the Mexican Navy proceeding to disembark the packages that the narcosubmarine transported, after determining that such were cocaine.

That little green submarine

Llega narcosubmarino a Salina Cruz para inspección

The little green submersible carried 5 tons of cocaine. According to a story in Agence France-Press, it carried 257 packets, each weighing about 22.5 kilos, for a total weight of 5,815 kilos.

Reuters has it as six tons.










This is a different picture of the drug packages recovered from the little green submarine.

This next picture shows the green submersible being towed.

Yet another image from Peru.com showing a picture of a submersible, though I doubt the darling little green submarine.

It, of course, isn't the narcosub; a close look reveals it is a regular submarine. What a fraud.

A little green submarine

Another picture from El Universal: this little green submarine ten meters long and filled with drugs, apparently cocaine from Colombia, was intercepted by the Mexican Navy on the high sea near the coast of Oaxaca.

Un pequeño submarino verde de diez metros de largo y cargado con droga, al parecer cocaína procedente de Colombia, fue interceptado por la Marina mexicana en alta mar cerca de la costa de Oaxaca.




A second image from La Jornada.unam.mx shows the mini-submersible. The Jornada story stated such a vessel can carry up to ten tons of stuff, and travels a mere five meters under the water's surface.
