Una investigaci\u00f3n del Ministerio de Gobernaci\u00f3n de Guatemala ha identificado a m\u00e1s de 54 organizaciones narcotraficantes en el pa\u00eds, incluyendo los grupos independientes y los que trabajan como \u201cfiliales\u201d para organizaciones transnacionales m\u00e1s grandes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las autoridades tambi\u00e9n investigan las operaciones de 40 c\u00e9lulas de Barrio-18 y 30 de la Mara Salvatrucha, inform\u00f3 la AFP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La informaci\u00f3n recogida en la investigaci\u00f3n permiti\u00f3 a Mauricio L\u00f3pez, Ministro de Gobernaci\u00f3n, presentarle al Presidente Otto P\u00e9rez un \u201cmapa del delito\u201d en una reuni\u00f3n de gabinete el 11 de junio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n L\u00f3pez explic\u00f3 que los grupos criminales han sido identificados seg\u00fan sus \u00e1reas de operaci\u00f3n, el nivel de amenaza y su estructura, inform\u00f3 Univisi\u00f3n<\/a>. Algunos de los 54 grupos funcionan como \u201cfiliales\u201d de organizaciones internacionales m\u00e1s grandes, mientras que otros operan de forma independiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n La mayor\u00eda de estos grupos narcotraficantes tambi\u00e9n se dedican a actividades criminales como el tr\u00e1fico de armas y el tr\u00e1fico humano, homicidios, extorsiones, robos de auto, y\/o robo com\u00fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No est\u00e1 claro c\u00f3mo, y si en alguna medida, el \u201cmapa del delito\u201d que recibi\u00f3 el presidente P\u00e9rez, el cual fue producido utilizando la informaci\u00f3n recogida por las agencias de inteligencia de Guatemala durante el a\u00f1o pasado, se relaciona con el mapa publicado a principios de esta semana<\/a>, utilizando informaci\u00f3n de investigadores antinarc\u00f3ticos de la Fiscal\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aunque el Ministerio de Gobernaci\u00f3n no pueda ofrecer m\u00e1s detalles, tales como las zonas exactas donde operan los grupos o cu\u00e1ntos miembros tienen, debido a que la investigaci\u00f3n a\u00fan est\u00e1 en curso, sus declaraciones hacen eco de informes anteriores que establecen que los carteles extranjeros m\u00e1s poderosos, especialmente los Zetas y el Cartel de Sinaloa, a menudo \u201ccontratan\u201d a grupos locales para llevar a cabo sus operaciones en Guatemala. Las luchas entre estos dos grupos \u2013 y entre las pandillas m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as adheridas a cada cartel \u2013 en Guatemala por el control territorial, es una de las posibles razones detr\u00e1s del aumento reciente en los homicidios del pa\u00eds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n En el pasado ha habido indicios de que las, cada vez m\u00e1s sofisticadas Maras<\/a>, tales como las 70 c\u00e9lulas mara o \u201cclicas\u201d identificadas por el Ministerio de Gobernaci\u00f3n, tambi\u00e9n pueden estar trabajando con organizaciones narcotraficantes transnacionales<\/a> como los Zetas, pese a que informes sobre la \u201cintegraci\u00f3n\u201d de las maras con los Zetas han demostrado no tener fundamentos<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Una investigaci\u00f3n del
