La Polic\u00eda y el Poder Judicial manejan que las mafias colombianas y mexicanas est\u00e1n operando en Uruguay lavando dinero proveniente del narcotr\u00e1fico, seg\u00fan el \u00faltimo informe del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos sobre drogas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El informe, de fecha 5 de marzo y que cada a\u00f1o se entrega al Congreso estadounidense, reconoce que si bien Uruguay est\u00e1 dando \u201cpasos afirmativos\u201d en contra del lavado de dinero y el financiamiento al terrorismo, \u201csigue siendo vulnerable a esas amenazas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUruguay tiene una econom\u00eda altamente dolarizada y el d\u00f3lar estadounidense es usado con frecuencia como moneda para los negocios; alrededor del 75% de los dep\u00f3sitos y 50% de los cr\u00e9ditos est\u00e1n denominados en d\u00f3lares. Funcionarios de la Polic\u00eda y el Poder Judicial uruguayo eval\u00faan que las organizaciones delictivas colombianas est\u00e1n operando en Uruguay y las organizaciones delicti- vas mexicanas probablemente tambi\u00e9n est\u00e9n presentes. Hay preocupaci\u00f3n adicional respecto de c\u00f3mo el crimen organizado se mueve hacia el Sur desde Brasil<\/a>\u201c, relata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En ese sentido, dice que \u201chasta lo que se conoce\u201d, el dinero que se lava en Uruguay \u201cderiva principalmente de las actividades extranjeras relacionadas con las organizaciones de tr\u00e1fico de drogas\u201d. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLos vendedores de drogas tienen creciente participaci\u00f3n en otras actividades il\u00edcitas como el robo de autos y el tr\u00e1fico de personas, en tanto el delito violento est\u00e1 en ascenso. Los casos de lavado de dinero publicitados est\u00e1n principalmente relacionados con los narc\u00f3ticos y\/o involucran al sector inmobiliario\u201d, sostiene el informe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lea m\u00e1s
