Former military colonel Pedro Julio (Pepe) Goico Guerrero has been acquitted of money laundering charges related to the Quirino Paulino narcotics trafficking case. Hoy reports that the National District Third Tribunal Court has found that there was not enough evidence to charge Goico and Ernesto Guevara Diaz. Goico had been charged with covering up the ownership of a Colibri helicopter, which was actually owned by Paulino while Guevara had been charged with coordinating the transfer of more than 1,300 kilos of pure cocaine in 2004. In related news, the same court found Paulino's wife, Belkis Elizabeth Ubri, guilty of money laundering. Hoy writes that the court felt that Ubri's businesses, which she owned with her husband, were moving unjustifiably large sums of money. The Courts sentenced her to five years in jail and a fine of 50 minimum salary payments and has ordered all her assets to be seized.
