Penal - Rol N° O-199-2019

This document details a judicial case involving the trafficking of illicit drugs, prosecuted in the 5th Criminal Court of Santiago. The case, identified by RUC 1801204922-2 and RIT 199-2019, culminated on February 7, 2020, with the sentencing of Guillermo Antonio Arriagada Ramos and Roberto Sepúlveda Sepúlveda. The core of the case revolves around the coordinated delivery and seizure of a significant quantity of cocaine, totaling approximately 7.5 kilograms, on December 5, 2018. The investigation involved surveillance, vehicle tracking, and searches of the defendants' residences, leading to the discovery of drugs, digital scales, and related paraphernalia. Both defendants were convicted of illicit drug trafficking under Article 3 in relation to Article 1 of Law No. 20.000. Sepúlveda received a sentence of 7 years and one day of major imprisonment, while Arriagada was sentenced to 5 years and one day, both with accessory penalties and fines. The court considered mitigating factors, such as the defendants' cooperation, and aggravating factors, specifically Sepúlveda's prior convictions for drug trafficking and robbery. The prosecution sought harsher penalties, citing the quantity of drugs and criminal history, while the defense emphasized the mitigating circumstances and argued for reduced sentences. The tribunal's decision was based on extensive evidence, including witness testimony, expert analysis, and the defendants' own admissions, concluding that the drugs were not intended for personal consumption.
