Drug Queen Accused of Kidnapping Teen Who Betrayed Her

Authorities are searching for a woman identified as the 'Drug Queen' who allegedly kidnapped a 17-year-old boy after he reportedly testified against her in a drug trafficking case. The incident occurred when the teenager was found selling drugs and subsequently implicated the woman in his statement to the Special Force for the Fight Against Narcotics (Felcn).

According to police reports, the 'Drug Queen,' along with her husband, forcibly took the teenager from his home. He was subjected to a beating before being abandoned in the Satélite Norte area of Warnes. Neighbors and family members later rescued the boy, who is now under police protection.

This is not the first time the woman, identified as Paola P. L., has been in trouble with the law. She was arrested in March 2022 for leading a family drug ring that operated out of several bars in Satélite Norte. She and two brothers were jailed for micro-trafficking, but the justice system later granted them their freedom, allowing her to continue her illicit activities.

Felcn investigations indicate that Paola Pérez Ledezma has been the ringleader of this family clan for 13 years, selling drugs from bars. She is believed to own at least 21 properties, five of which were seized but later returned by the courts. Police and the prosecutor's office are now investigating the 'Drug Queen' for kidnapping and serious assault.
