Colombian
Police Seizes $22.4 Million
Dollars Cash In One Week
BOGOTA - Colombian
National Police seized 11.2 million U.S.
dollars cash on Friday inside four
containers coming from Mexico at
Buenaventura port in western Colombia.
National Police sub-director Colonel Rafael
Parra said another 11.2 million dollars cash
was also seized on Wednesday in the same
port.
Parra said the dollars seized on Wednesday
were hidden inside ammonium sulphate load,
which arrived at the port from the Mexican
port of Manzanillo.
Colombian authorities said the seizure of a
total of 22.4 million dollars in a week was
historic, adding that it was a strong punch
against the drug traffickers in Mexico and
Colombia.
The load was addressed to companies with
facilities in the Colombian cities of Bogota
and Cali, Parra said.
The National Police said it would use the
seized dollars to build houses for anti-drug
agents in the country. |
