The GNR military says Vito and Amilcar used the colors of the cars to distinguish cannabis from hashish.

In a statement that lasted more than half an hour, a member of the Criminal Investigation Core reported to the panel of judges about the investigation that had been ongoing for several months in relation to the drug trafficking network.

During his testimony, he mentioned that Vito was connected to Amilcar Teixeira and that it was the defendant who supplied Amilcar with cannabis and hashish. They used codes like green car for cannabis and brown car when they wanted to talk about hashish.

The inspector also said that it was through tapping the number, which they later realized was Vito’s, that they established a relationship and even followed Amilcar to Vila Nova de Gaia. They were in a place called “the curves,” which the inspector said was supposed to be Vito’s building code.

According to the investigation and this testimony, Amilcar never carried Vito’s oil.
