The rescue of the narcosubmarino found to drift on the Costa da Morte has not managed to get to fruition. Specifically, to Camariñas (La Coruña), towards which specialized Civil Guard units tried to drag it with the help of external companies. … During the maneuvers, the section of the semi -submersal that was still afloat is sinking. And the Civil Guard, finally, ha suspended rescue tasks without investigators being able to find any trace of cocaine Inside. Police sources explain that the most likely hypothesis is that the organization had ally before leaving the boat.
The tasks to try to tow the semi -squeeze had begun on Wednesday and have continued this Thursday, not without difficulties. Especially, as explained by the Civil Guard, for the constant breakage of the chain that was being used to tow Towards the port of Camariñas El Narcosubmarino, which a fishing boat had drifted on the Costa da Morte.
The ship that on Wednesday morning He tripped over the semi-submersible at the entrance of the Camariñas-Muxía estuary, the fishing vessel María Cristina, He has Laxe as a base port, was the one who was in charge, at first and after agreeing with those responsible for the armed institute, of trying to drag the boat to Camariñas. All this in collaboration with different teams of specialists from the Civil Guard, especially the Special Group of Underwater (Feas) Activities and the Benemérita Air Service.
But those in charge of the rescue soon encountered problems, that the bad weather also intensified. In the course of operations, The narcosubmarino departed in two halves. The bow side remained afloat, possibly to house fuel deposits. The stern, however, due to its greatest weight being the part of the boat where the organization had installed the engine, ended up sinking.
The specialist technicians of the Civil Guard were trying to find a way to recover the sunk narcosubmarino sections to refloat it in its entirety and be able to drive it to land for analysis, in the port of Camariñas, by units in the fight against drug trafficking of the Civil Guard.
The Rescue work had resumed this Thursday with great difficulties. The Witness took the Sebastian Docampo boat – in the image -, a tugboat with greater capacity than that of maritime rescue. The specialists have tried to transfer the part of the helmet that still kept afloat towards the tugboat. But there has been no luck. The movements made during the operation have caused the loss of the air bubble that kept the bow afloat. This has derived, as detailed to the Civil Guard, in the Water entrance into the helmet, which has finely gone to pique. Approximately 500 meters from the place that should be its destination: the port of Camariñas.
Navigation without danger
Now, therefore, the entire Narcosubmarino helmet, which had split in two, has been completely sunk. Therefore, the Civil Guard has decided to suspend the rescue work after verifying that the Narcosubmarino, being sunk in its entirety, It no longer represents any danger to navigation in the area. For a few hours on Thursday, Maritime Rescue has been issuing notices to the vessels that passed by to extreme precautions, but now they can already navigate normally.
The Civil Guard has, therefore, withdraw both the part of the narcosubmarino that had initially sunk and the one that went to Pique later. The reason is the entrance of a storm that was foreseen in the following hours in the area. In any case, despite not having been able to complete the operation successfully, the Civil Guard appreciates the collaboration of the institutions and vessels that had been involved in the rescue.
