Brazilian, Bolivian Police
to Join Hands in Fighting Against Organized Crime
Rio de Janeiro - The federal
police of Brazil and Bolivia on Wednesday pledged their commitment
to cooperating in actions against organized crime, especially
involving drugs and weapons trafficking and money laundering.
An agreement, signed by Brazilian Federal Police Director Luiz
Fernando Correa and Bolivia's National Planning Director General
Wilge Obleas Espinoza, will be effective for a year and may be
extended.
Under the agreement, both countries would exchange information about
organized crime and data concerning specific laws on drugs and
weapons trafficking, money laundering and the destinations of seized
goods.
Bolivia has committed itself to launching operations to eradicate
marijuana and cocaine crops, with logistic aid from Brazilian
police. The country will also take part in a scientific study
developed by the Brazilian Federal Police's Criminology Institute.
Brazilian forensic experts will also help to improve Bolivian
forensic laboratories.
