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
