Five Percent of the Cocaine
The U.S. ambassador to Costa Rica Mark Langsdale pointed out that the 23 tons of cocaine that have been confiscated in the joint U.S.-Costa Rica anti-drug plan in the last 7 months represent only 5 percent of the drug produced in South America.

The diplomat did not hide his worries about the fact that a large part of the cocaine seized on the Pacific –25 percent, actually – was on Costa Rican fishing boats.
