The Austrian DJ who tried to enter the country two weeks ago with almost eight kilograms of MDMA of maximum purity, the synthetic drug with which "ecstasy" is manufactured, will continue to be detained in preventive detention and suffered an embargo of 50 million
pesos
.
Although
he called himself Alex Anders
on social networks , it has now been known that
his real name is Alexander Rosdobutko (40)
, an electronic music artist known under the pseudonym "Astralex", who was arrested on February 14 at the Ezeiza Airport after discovering that he was traveling with
three packages of MDMA
, which were hidden in the false bottom of his suitcase.
Now the National Economic Criminal Court 6, in charge of
Marcelo Aguinsky
, confirmed the pretrial detention and prosecuted him for the crime of "
attempted
narcotics smuggling ,
intended for commercialization
."
He justified the measure since in the event that he is effectively sentenced it will be
of effective compliance
, because the penalties for this crime range from
4 to 16 years in prison
.
And also, that by
not having a fixed address in the country
or family members, that could "
represent a flight risk
," according to the judge.
Astralex is ranked 14,110 in the global ranking of DJs.
What justice suspects is that the drug that the DJ brought into the country
was for sale
and those doubts are based on the fact that Astralex planned to stay in Argentina for a short time.
He entered the country on February 14 and had a
return ticket to the Netherlands
dated
February 19
.
In between were the carnival holidays and a
high season of
electronic music festivals.
That way.
In the processing that
Clarín
was able to access , it is noted that Astralex had only
reserved a hotel day
, unknowing where he would be the rest of the days: "It is worth noting that Rosdobutko, as he stated, is dedicated to music, as independent artistic producer, so
it could not be ruled out
that the narcotic substance that tried to enter the country would later be marketed in the festivities to take place on the
carnival holidays
”.
From the investigation it appears that the DJ
did not act alone
and that he could not have arrived in the country without the intervention of
another person or persons
.
But those remaining probable participants, for the moment, were not identified, which is why it is speculated that if the defendant is released, "he could hinder the progress
of
the investigation and/or reach an agreement with them
to prevent the finished action of justice
."
In addition, the judge requested that the music producer suffer the
embargo of 50 million pesos
.
To arrive at this value, the amount of sequestered substance
(7,760 grams) and its possible value in Argentina (where the fine can range
from 4 to 20 times its value
)
was taken into account .
With this calculation, the millionaire criminal figure was reached.
Specialized agents from the General Directorate of Customs-AFIP estimated that, taking into account the
purity and quantity of the drug found,
more than 31,000 pills
could have been produced
.
In his social networks he affirms that his genre is the psychedelic trance style.
According to the agency, "in the local market the narcotic in question can be worth 45,000 dollars per kilo and about
15 dollars per pill
, for which, if it had not been discovered, the smuggling maneuver could have billed approximately
465,000 dollars
."
The search is now on what may arise from the
expert reports on the two cell phones
with which the Austrian artist moved.
With the result of these analyzes, progress could be made in those other people who participated in the illegal trade.
Basically, to know
who are the contacts that unite you with Argentina
.
