The operation was carried out on the so-called desert route, which includes routes between Manabi and the Galapagos Islands, with its initial destination being Central America, before heading to the United States and Europe.
He explained that the operation was conducted through surveillance by Navy personnel in Manta and lasted for two weeks through intelligence work.
