Inspector’s Secret Alias: A Look at Corruption Within the Narcotics Unit

The case centers on an assistant inspector from the narcotics division who was secretly feeding information to drug traffickers while pretending to run a legitimate program to combat crime. He devised a system to stay unseen and to manage data about the individuals he claimed to protect. To realize his goal, he created a bogus investigation focused on fighting drug trafficking and even gave it a name, but it was nothing more than a veil. It served as the perfect excuse to slip into the Police computer system, the hub where all records were stored, and extract information about anyone connected to the operation. Whenever a member of the El Langa clan appeared in any incident under police scrutiny, the assistant inspector could act. He earned the trust of his superiors and his colleagues, who never suspected that he was quietly turning in information about drug traffickers. He was known in Son Banya as someone who could buy time for the traffickers to move their product before a crackdown in town.
