Overview
- Tribunal Oral Federal N°1 de Salta found both defendants guilty of aggravated transport of narcotics due to the participation of three or more people.
- Oliva will remain under house arrest until the judgment becomes final, while Tolaba’s term reaches 10 years after unification with a prior cocaine-transport conviction.
- The court ordered the seizure of a Toyota Hilux linked to the operation as part of the sentencing measures.
- The case stemmed from a February 5, 2025 PSA interception near the ex Aunor toll, where officers seized 15 kilograms of marijuana after a high-speed pursuit and recovery of discarded packages.
- Prosecutors detailed roughly 31 prior trips and assigned Oliva logistical and financial roles; five co-defendants had already been convicted, and the defense signaled plans to appeal with written grounds due March 19.
