This document details a legal case where the Public Ministry prosecuted Abraham Manuel Herrera Gómez for drug trafficking. The accused was apprehended on November 17, 2017, in Lota, found with 82 doses of base cocaine and $108,000 in cash, suspected to be proceeds from sales. The court qualified the offense as illicit trafficking of narcotics in small quantities, sentencing Herrera Gómez to 90 days of minor imprisonment, a fine of 1 UTM, and related accessories.
