Interrogation. This community policeman (seen from the back) hast just done 6 months of re-education at the Espino Blanco Center for serious misconducting during service. Along with some of his colleagues, he let drug traffickers escape from Progreso Gavilan Prison.
He is being interrogated by coordinator-judge Pablo, legal assessor Valentin and regional commander Aureliano. After suspicion of complicity, the inquiry went on to establish that these community policemen were victims of sleeping pills put in soft drinks given to them by the drug traffickers. Once their innocence was established and their sentence done, they were released.
The CRAC is understanding but inflexible regarding errors made by it members.
