Colombia Destroys Drug
Trafficking Network
Bogota - The Colombian
Prosecutor's Office said
Friday it had dismantled
a drug trafficking
network believed to be
linked to a Mexican drug
trafficking cartel
Sinaloa.
Seven members of the
gang were arrested for
allegedly transporting
drugs to Mexican coasts
from Bogota and cities
in southwest Colombia,
said the Technical Group
of Investigations (CTI)
of the Prosecutor
Office.
Sinaloa is involved in
the smuggling and
distribution of cocaine,
marijuana and heroin
produced in Colombia,
Mexico and Southeast
Asia into the United
States and other areas.
"During the operation,
the CTI seized two
vehicles, four weapons,
20 pieces of
communication equipment,
computers and important
documents for the
investigation," said a
CTI spokesman.
Colombian and Mexican
authorities have been
working closely in
efforts to crack down on
drug gangs in the two
countries.
