The scandal surrounding the delivery of the Uruguayan passport to Sebastián Marset, a fugitive drug trafficker, has taken center stage in public opinion and in the country’s politics. The summons of the prosecution in this case has led the Minister of the Interior, Luis Alberto Heber, to face a parliamentary interpellation. In this article, the events and statements related to this controversial matter will be examined.
The prosecutor’s office has summoned Minister Luis Alberto Heber to testify about the granting of a passport to Sebastián Marset. This summons is given in the framework of the ongoing investigation, which seeks to clarify the facts surrounding the fugitive’s obtaining the document.
Delivery of the passport to Marset
The case centers on the delivery of the Uruguayan passport to Marset, who is wanted for links to drug trafficking. Minister Heber has stated that he will provide the same version that he presented in Parliament when this issue was discussed earlier.
The delivery of the passport to Marset generated enough concern in the parliamentary opposition to carry out an interpellation to the Minister of the Interior. This mechanism seeks for the minister to answer questions and provide clarifications on the case before Parliament.
The seizure related to Marset
Before the press, Minister Heber expressed that he was supported by Parliament in his previous statement and that he will remain firm in his statements. These statements reflect the government’s position in the face of the controversy and seek to maintain consistency in its position.
In relation to Marset’s links to drug trafficking, the recent seizure of 265 kilograms of cocaine in a shipment of wood bound for Europe stands out. The company that owns the shipment belongs to a person named Bentancor, who is currently in pretrial detention.
The seized shipment of wood has become a key element in the investigation. His final destination was Europe, and the authorities seek to determine how he is related to drug trafficking activities and the figure of Marset.
