The ex-partner of La Reina de la Coca acknowledges that he was the leader of a drug trafficking network and accepts 9 years and 6 months in jail

The court, which could not try him together with Cameno for being in absentia, applies the mitigation for drug addiction

MADRID, 28 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

José Ramón Mora Parra, who was a partner of what is known as 'La Reina de la Coca', has accepted a sentence of 9 years and 6 months in jail after acknowledging that, together with Ana María Cameno herself, he led a network of drug trafficker who in 2014 sold more than 100 kilos of cocaine for around 15 million euros.

Mora, who was facing a request for 21 years in prison in the trial that was held this year at the National Court, fled and was declared in absentia by the same court that, this September, sentenced 16 years in prison for 'La Reina de la Coca'.

The defendant reappeared once the aforementioned ruling was handed down and the National Court appointed a hearing for his prosecution, which was held on October 27. Facing the oral hearing, Mora agreed to collaborate with the Prosecutor's Office and recognized "his full responsibility" for the facts that were imputed to him.

This is clear from the ruling, to which Europa Press has had access, which sentences him to 9 years and 6 months in prison for crimes against public health, money laundering and illegal possession of weapons. In addition to the late confession mitigation, the drug addiction mitigation was also applied to Mora, since "at the time of committing" the facts "his intellective and volitional faculties were significantly reduced as a result of the consumption of narcotic drugs, particularly cocaine ".

The proven facts of the ruling that condemns Mora draw the same story that the Second Section of the Criminal Chamber already outlined in the ruling for which it sentenced 'La Reina de la Coca'. The magistrates begin their presentation by explaining that, in 2013, the Civil Guard discovered that Cameno, who had already been indicted in different drug trafficking operations, dedicated herself, despite being on probation, to the "distribution and sale to third parties of significant amounts of cocaine".

In the development of this activity, Cameno "maintained regular contacts with suppliers and with those in charge of transporting the substance" and, "together with his sentimental partner at that time --Mora himself--, he dealt with the payments corresponding to the sales of this substance, as well as contacts with the network in charge of providing technical, legal and financial support".

To transport cocaine, Cameno "used different vehicles, always in the name of third parties, which had been manipulated to store the drug in a hidden cove." These cars, in turn, "were driven by other members or collaborators of their criminal organization, to whom Cameno or Mora gave instructions to pick up the drugs and deliver them to the buyers."

"Therefore, the criminal organization led, together with his sentimental partner at that time Mora, by Cameno, in addition to these, as a permanent base structure, was completed with other people, who intervened in each specific operation, who were integrated into the organization, in addition to those others who acted as habitual collaborators of that one", relates the ruling.

It states that in a house that Cameno and Mora had "a total of 49 packages of narcotic substances were seized, distributed in suitcases in different rooms, which when analyzed turned out to be cocaine, with a total net weight" of about 45 kilos. and "a purity of 56%, with a market value" of 5.8 million euros. In addition, the agents found a pistol with a silencer, 28 mobile phones, a precision scale and a hydraulic press with molds.

The court points out that "the facts declared proven are deduced from the recognition of the facts made by the defendant" in the oral trial held at the end of October, and that in turn "is corroborated by the evidence that has been carried out in the present process".
