The fall of “Damasco”, the drug trafficker who tried to bribe the police with 20 million pesos
Hernán Orlando Tolosa (43) was walking down the street with “freedom insurance”: He always carried a significant amount of bills with him because he knew that in the face of routine control the money could thwart his arrest and thus be able to continue his life in hiding.
“Damascus”, as it is known, had an arrest warrant since June 2019 in the framework of a case for drug trafficking and money laundering. He had been a fugitive for more than four and a half years, but he was not hiding nor had his appearance changed.
On Tuesday, December 23, while He was driving a white Toyota Hilux truck accompanied by his son, he unexpectedly ran into a police checkpoint who was on the trail of a small band that had scammed a 91-year-old woman in the town of Centeno, about 130 kilometers from the city of Santa Fe.
