US investigating marine officials after losing classified information in Colombia: report


written by Adriaan Alsema May 29, 2017


Three US Marine officers are investigated after a night out in Colombia’s capital Bogota ended in “local women” stealing the marines’ computers containing classified information, according to newspaper The Miami Herald.

The newspaper said it had obtained a report on the investigation against a colonel and two majors, who apparently were drugged and robbed after a pub crawl in Bogota.

According to this report, the three officers face “appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings” and could be charged with “conduct unbecoming an officer” at least.

The Miami Herald reported that, according to the report, the three men had violated their 1PM curfew and ventured into a working-class part of Bogota where they picked up four women and took them back to their hotel.

1pm curfew or 1am curfew?

Scopolamine, also known as Burundanga, is a powerful sedative extracted from the Brugmansia flower native to Colombia.
Scopolamine’s most common use is for robbery and assault in Colombia. The extent to its damage is endemic – 1 of 5 emergency room visits are due to scopolamine overdose. Organized thieves prey on unsuspecting victims by drugging them and taking advantage once they’re under the influence.
