Med Mehiko in ZDA odkrili podzemni predor za tihotapljenje drog

Mehiške oblasti so v mestu Tijuana na Kalifornijskem polotoku tik ob meji z ZDA odkrile podzemni tunel, opremljen z razsvetljavo, ojačanimi stenami, prezračevanjem in transportnim sistemom, poročajo ameriški mediji. Predor, dolg približno 600 metrov, je Tijuano povezal z bližnjim ameriškim mestom San Diego in naj bi služil za tihotapljenje drog.

Ameriško državno tožilstvo za okrožje južne Kalifornije je objavilo posnetek več kot 600 metrov dolgega predora med obmejnima mestoma Mehike in ZDA, navaja britanski BBC.

Predor je po navedbah ameriških oblasti opremljen z elektriko, ojačanimi stenami, prezračevanjem in sistemom za transport, odkrili pa so ga med večmesečno preiskavo skladišča domnevne diskontne trgovine v San Diegu.

Oblasti so ob tem aretirale štiri osebe, obtožene tihotapljenja kokaina v vrednosti več kot 45 milijonov dolarjev. Vsem v primeru obsodbe grozi dosmrtna zaporna kazen, navaja ameriški CBS.

Fox News pa je medtem poročal, da je odkritje tunela v soboto prvo naznanilo mehiško državno tožilstvo, potem ko so izvedli preiskavo v Tijuani.
