The high court made an unusual decision last month. It let a suspect, Nadine Ismael de Gouveira Pereira, travel abroad for Christmas. Many people criticized this decision. They worried that Pereira might not come back to face charges.
But Pereira surprised the court. She returned as promised to defend herself. Pereira is the wife of another suspect named Paulo Djabi.
After Pereira came back, the trial continued. A state lawyer called a witness to testify. The witness was Phoday Sillah. Sillah said that Djabi has a car business in The Gambia. Djabi sends the cars to Guinea Bissau. Sillah has worked as a clearing agent for Djabi since 2011.
The court also made something clear. It said that Pereira and Djabi were not charged with drug trafficking. Some people on social media had said they were. But the court says those reports were wrong.
