MANILA, Philippines — The Makati City Regional Trial Court has convicted a suspected member of the Mexican Sinaloa drug syndicate of selling P12-million worth of cocaine.
Horacio Hernandez Herrera was meted the penalty of life imprisonment.
Hernandez, who arrived in the country on Oct. 28, 2013, was reportedly tasked to conduct illegal drug deals in the country through a joint operation with a Chinese drug ring.
He was the one who supposedly “supplied cocaine and shabu to a Manila-based drug trafficker.”
Herrera was found guilty of violating Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 specifically Section 5 Article II of RA 9165 for selling 2,265 grams of cocaine. /cbb
