Ex Guatemalan Official Admits
Power of Drug Trafficking
Former minister of Interior of
Guatemala, Carlos Vielmann, said
on Thursday that neither society
nor the State have realized the
influence, infiltration and
capacity of action of drug
trafficking in the country.
"Its influence generates a
nationwide problem rather than a
government problem," said
Vielmann, as drug mafias buy the
people, fund candidates and
political parties and bribe
those working in public
institutions.
Vielmann, who resigned from his
post amid a scandal for the
assassination of three
Salvadorean deputies and their
driver, said he took his
decision because organized crime
was set to carry out more
actions of social impact.
According to Vielmann, the case
of the Salvadorean deputies has
not been handled seriously, and
it is quite bigger than
perceived.
"At least there is clear
evidence that the narco was
behind," he told journalists.
