Nicaragua passes its organised crime law

Law 735 covers the prevention, investigation and prosecution of organised crime, drug offences included, and sets up a unit to manage seized property. The Penal Code alongside it treats under 5 g of marijuana as a minor offence with a fine and community work, 5 to 20 g as a crime with six months to three years, and more than 20 g with three to eight years.[1]
