In February of 2013, it made headline news when Belizeans Ermelito "Milin" Vasquez of Orange Walk and Hugo Casanova of Corozal were caught allegedly smuggling the drug Crystal meth in Mexico. They were caught in a Chetumal home along with a notorious Mexican Drug Dealer.
It was 100 pounds of "Meth", so the expectation was that they would be locked up in Mexico for a while.
But three years later, reports say they have been set free and are coming home after clearing up some immigration issues. A Mexican news report we have seen says they were acquitted. Apparently, they got off on a technicality, because the arrest was made without a warrant.
So, they are simply awaiting clearance from Mexican Immigration and are expected to return to Belize this week - possibly tomorrow.
