Guatemalan Ambassador:
Mexican Cartels
Moving to Border Area to Avoid Crackdown
Guatemala - Mexican
drug cartels are moving to the area
bordering Guatemala and El Salvador to avoid
anti-drug measures, Guatemalan ambassador to
Mexico said Wednesday.
Mexico narcotraffickers, operating in
Guatemala's borders with other Central
American countries, are transferring to
avoid harsh crackdown posed by the Mexican
government, Ambassador Jose Luis Chea
Urruela said.
Mexican cartels have dominated the border
region, the ambassador said.
Drug traffickers are moving to neighboring
countries for a less hostile environment, he
added.
Mexican drug cartels, the most powerful in
the region, have entered Guatemala to take
full control of the business, from drug
production to transportation and final
sales, he said.
Guatemala is ready to reverse this
situation, and can by no means allow its
border under the control of the traffickers,
he said.
Mexican narcotraffickers are gaining an
increasing presence in Guatemala's territory
these days. Drug gang violence between
members of local and Mexican cartels in
frontier zone between Mexico and Guatemala
occurred frequently. |
