Francisco was in his house when two agents arrived saying that he needed to accompany them. He was taken to the Colón Police Station, and once there, was fined $150.00 (€ 4.50) for violating security. After a few minutes, an inspector from the Department of Municipal Hygiene and Epidemiology took him to an office. Within the premises he was given another fine of $100.00 pesos (€ 3) as an administrative measure for Non-compliance with Sanitary Methods. The latter is related to the humanitarian project that keeps distributing food, free of charge, to people in need.
