Por qué cerraron la investigación por la cocaína encontrada en la Casa Blanca

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:29:51 GMT

El Servicio Secreto anunció el jueves que había cerrado su investigación sobre quién dejó un pequeño paquete de cocaína en la Casa Blanca sin encontrar al culpable, y un portavoz de la agencia le dijo a NBC News que lo hizo sin realizar entrevistas.La agencia, junto con el FBI, analizó el paquete para determinar que era cocaína y buscó huellas dactilares o evidencia de ADN. Pero las pruebas no arrojaron evidencia forense utilizable. Las imágenes de video del área donde se encontró la bolsita tampoco proporcionaron evidencia para reducir a los posibles sospechosos más allá de una lista de aproximadamente 500 miembros del personal y visitantes que pasaron durante un fin de semana a principios de este mes.El portavoz del Servicio Secreto, Anthony Gugliemi, dijo que la agencia determinó que entrevistar a las 500 personas podría ser una carga para los recursos, podría infringir las libertades civiles y probablemente sería infructuoso sin la evidencia física correspondiente que vincule a ...
