ON 10TH APRIL 1984 A MAN GIVING THE NAME PUGA, F/N MARCO 9.11.61 US CITIZEN WAS CONVICTED IN BERMUDA OF IMPORTATION OF MARIJUANA AND SENTENCED TO 6 YRS PRISON. IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND THAT HIS PARTICULARS WERE FALSE AND HE WAS CIRCULATED BY ICPO BLUE NOTICE 1899/86 CONTROL B-59/10-1986.

HE WAS EVENTUALLY IDENTIFIED AS MARMOLEJO SAENZ,F/N VICTOR JAVIER AN ECUADORIAN CITIZEN BY THE COMPOTENT AUTHORITIES IN THAT COUNTRY.

HE IS NOW BEING DEPORTED FROM BERMUDA TO ECUADOR, BUT BECAUSE THE USA AUTHORITIES REFUSE TO LET US TRANSIT HIM THROUGH THAT COUNTRY WE ARE HAVING TO ROUTE HIM BERMUDA-LONDON-AMSTERDAM-CARACAS-ECUADOR.

HE WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY TWO BERMUDA POLICE OFFICERS (DETECTIVES CALLAGHAN (THIS NCB) AND WORRELL AND THEY ARE BOOKED AS FOLLOWS:-

You will note the US Authorities declined to assist by enabling the journey to be shorter, via the US then to Ecuador - Why?

Irrespective, as mentioned at the start of this subject, "Puga's" parting comment to the Bermuda officers was:

"I'll be back in the United States within 6 months" 

It is believed this is exactly what happened and his involvement in the  importation of narcotics to Bermuda continued.  The name was often linked to the 1990 Miranda arrest, as will be seen by following the 'Miranda - Investigation' link.
