The crime of drug trafficking in the Criminal Code
For a drug trafficking crime to exist, the prosecution must prove profit motive in the possession, production, manufacture, transport or distribution of drugs. Mere possession of drugs for personal consumption does not constitute a criminal offense, but rather results in administrative sanctions (fines).
Our lawyer specialized in crimes against public health meticulously analyzes factors such as the quantity seized, weighing tools, confiscated cash and telephone wiretaps. Undermining this evidence is the first step to building the best defense and avoiding a custodial sentence.
Prison sentences: substances that cause serious harm to health
The Criminal Code classifies penalties based on the type of narcotic substance and its impact on the body: Drugs that do not cause serious harm: Substances such as marijuana or hashish. They carry a prison sentence of 1 to 3 years and fines proportional to the value of the drug. Drugs that cause serious harm: Narcotic substances such as cocaine, heroin or synthetic drugs.
Their sale or distribution increases penalties from 3 to 6 years in prison and carries drastic financial sanctions. Our expert attorney audits reports from the National Institute of Toxicology to verify the purity and exact weight of illegal substances, a factor that can significantly reduce drug trafficking charges.
Criminal aggravating factors: criminal organization and sales to minors
Penalties can be severely aggravated if specific circumstances occur. Punishment is intensified if distribution is carried out to minors, if it takes place in educational centers, or if the seized volume is considered of «notorious importance». Likewise, if the criminal activity is carried out under the structure of a criminal organization, penalties exceed 9 years in prison.
As leading attorneys in this field, at Orozco y Asociados we execute a solid defense against charges of belonging to an organized group, demanding direct evidence and blocking unfounded accusations.

The importance of legal assistance in criminal proceedings
In drug trafficking crimes, the best strategic option is to have a criminal defense attorney before making any statement. The defense begins at the very place of detention. We intervene under the parameters of the Criminal Procedure Law to challenge null home entries and searches, irregular telephone interventions and contaminated chains of custody.
Protecting your rights requires anticipating the prosecution at each phase of the criminal procedure, from police detention to oral trial.
