But there are the following divisions:

Of the 160 people, 15 are minors. Of those arrested, one is a minor. That part of the case is being assigned to a juvenile investigator.

Seven people charged with criminal organization also have a violation of the drug law. This piece will be separated and go to a narcotics investigator. There will be added seven others who are involved in drug trafficking, without being involved in the criminal organization. Three of them have been arrested.
