**__Elderly women charged with running drug business from their home in Santiago __** According to Chilean authorities, Maria Valdebentio, 80, and Giselle Gilbert, 72, ran a drug business from their home in Santiago. They were charged with drug trafficking after the night time police raided their house over the weekend. They found 2kg of cocaine, cocaine paste, and $45,000 in cash. Because of their age, they were placed under house arrest. This investigation has been going on for six months because the neighbors tipped the police off saying they would always see fancy cars and an elderly lady hanging around the house. Giselle Gilbert, who was also named Gulbert, had eight detention orders for bank fraud and drunk driving. Also, Maria Valdebentio was convicted of drug trafficking in 1998.
