Los Estados del Golfo son cada vez m\u00e1s importantes como base de operaciones y puntos de transbordo de drogas para los grupos de Latinoam\u00e9rica, seg\u00fan un destacado analista de seguridad, los cuales utilizan la regi\u00f3n para coordinar el transporte hacia Europa y Asia mientras intentan avivar la demanda local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En una cumbre de seguridad en la capital de Qatar, Doha, el experto en tr\u00e1fico de drogas Johan Obdola <\/a>dijo que los carteles de la droga eran atra\u00eddos a la regi\u00f3n por su riqueza, inform\u00f3 The Peninsular. Una c\u00e9lula mexicana estaba operando fuera de Dubai, dijo, y Qatar estaba siendo utilizado como un punto de tr\u00e1nsito para la exportaci\u00f3n a otros estados del Golfo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hay algunas pruebas para apoyar esta afirmaci\u00f3n. En dos semanas de septiembre pasado, hubo seis casos de intento de tr\u00e1fico de drogas desde un aeropuerto cercano a Buenos Aires hacia la capital de Qatar, Doha, en Qatar Airlines, inform\u00f3 La Naci\u00f3n<\/a>. Una fuente de seguridad dijo al diario argentino que la \u201cnueva ruta\u201d hab\u00eda \u201cexplotado\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las autoridades aduaneras de Qatar afirman <\/a>que capturan al 90 por ciento de las mulas con cargamentos de drogas -incluyendo 50 el a\u00f1o pasado<\/a>\u2013 pero Obdola cuestion\u00f3 la cifra, llamando a las incautaciones locales \u201cla punta del iceberg\u201d, inform\u00f3 el Gulf Times<\/a>. Los narcotraficantes capturados en los estados del Golfo P\u00e9rsico enfrentan penas severas<\/a>, incluida la pena de muerte<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Esta no es la primera vez que Qatar ha sido mencionado como un punto de tr\u00e1nsito emergente para las drogas de Latinoam\u00e9rica. El diario La Naci\u00f3n report\u00f3<\/a> en 2011 un v\u00ednculo entre Argentina y el emirato. Seg\u00fan ese informe, un kilo de coca\u00edna puede venderse por hasta US$ 90.000 en la regi\u00f3n \u2013tres veces su valor<\/a> en Estados Unidos- un comercio muy lucrativo si los grupos criminales tienen \u00e9xito en aumentar la demanda local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N<\/strong>: Narcotraficantes latinoamericanos se posicionan en Guinea-Bissau y se expanden en \u00c1frica<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Las autoridades estiman que el 75 por ciento de la coca\u00edna recuperada en el Medio Oriente proviene de Brasil. La Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito<\/a> tambi\u00e9n identific\u00f3 a Brasil como el principal punto de partida para las drogas que se dirigen hacia Europa y \u00c1frica Occidental<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Los Estados del Golfo son cada vez m\u00e1s importantes como base de operaciones y puntos de transbordo de drogas para los grupos de Latinoam\u00e9rica, seg\u00fan un destacado analista de seguridad, los cuales utilizan la regi\u00f3n para coordinar el transporte hacia Europa y Asia mientras intentan avivar la demanda local.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":38555,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"newspack_content_restriction_is_exempt":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[428,405,406],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3847],"class_list":["post-5908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-argentina-pais","tag-brasil","tag-mexico-pais","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/golfo-persico-esta-creciendo-como-centro-de-drogas-para-los-grupos-latinoamericanos\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Golfo P\u00e9rsico est\u00e1 creciendo como narcocentro para los grupos latinoamericanos","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/golfo-persico-esta-creciendo-como-centro-de-drogas-para-los-grupos-latinoamericanos\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/golfo-persico-esta-creciendo-como-centro-de-drogas-para-los-grupos-latinoamericanos\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/es-920314c6cfdd63891f5664aca390f444.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/es-920314c6cfdd63891f5664aca390f444.jpg?fit=280%2C169&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charles Parkinson"}],"creator":["Charles Parkinson"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["argentina","brasil","m\u00e9xico"],"dateCreated":"2017-03-27T23:56:04Z","datePublished":"2017-03-27T23:56:04Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:33:25Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":232684,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/cjng-busca-desplazar-cartel-golfo-tamaulipas-mexico\/","url_meta":{"origin":5908,"position":0},"title":"\u00bfEl CJNG busca desplazar al Cartel del Golfo de Tamaulipas, M\u00e9xico?","author":"Parker Asmann","date":"17 de mayo de 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Hay quienes dan por hecho que la invasi\u00f3n de Tamaulipas por parte del CJNG es algo seguro a pesar de las ra\u00edces hist\u00f3ricas del Cartel del Golfo all\u00ed;
