Las autoridades de Guatemala han capturado al hijo de un narcotraficante importante, quien ser\u00e1 extraditado a Estados Unidos, a medida que se cierra el cerco alrededor de una de las familias criminales m\u00e1s tradicionales del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waldemar Lorenzana Cord\u00f3n, hom\u00f3nimo de su encarcelado padre<\/a>, fue capturado el 17 de septiembre en el departamento suroriental de Zacapa, luego de una operaci\u00f3n conjunta realizada por los fiscales guatemaltecos antinarc\u00f3ticos de la Polic\u00eda Nacional Civil (PNC) y la DEA, inform\u00f3 Prensa Libre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mauricio L\u00f3pez Bonilla, ministro de Gobernaci\u00f3n de Guatemala, anunci\u00f3 que se tendr\u00e1 en cuenta la solicitud de extradici\u00f3n pendiente por parte de Estados Unidos, se\u00f1al\u00f3 elPeri\u00f3dico<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Es el m\u00e1s reciente golpe a los Lorenzana, una organizaci\u00f3n narcotraficante familiar con v\u00ednculos con Cartel de Sinaloa de M\u00e9xico. El patriarca de la familia, Waldemar Lorenzana Lima, fue capturado en abril de 2011, seguido por su hijo y hermano de Waldemar, Elio Lorenzana Cord\u00f3n, en noviembre de 2011<\/a>. En agosto de 2012, las autoridades guatemaltecas concedieron una solicitud de extradici\u00f3n<\/a> por Waldemar padre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A finales del a\u00f1o pasado, el Tesoro de Estados Unidos sancion\u00f3<\/a> a Ovaldino Lorenzana Cord\u00f3n y Marta Julia Lorenzana Cord\u00f3n, quienes seg\u00fan elPeri\u00f3dico son ahora los miembros restantes de la familia directa que supervisan las operaciones del clan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mientras que la captura del joven Waldemar Lorenzana representa una victoria para las autoridades guatemaltecas y la DEA, la sitiada organizaci\u00f3n a\u00fan no est\u00e1 acabada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No obstante, incluso si las autoridades desmantelan con \u00e9xito la red, podr\u00eda no tener efectos catastr\u00f3ficos sobre la din\u00e1mica del narcotr\u00e1fico en Guatemala. Los Lorenzana son s\u00f3lo una de las muchas organizaciones que trabajan con el Cartel de Sinaloa, la organizaci\u00f3n mexicana dominante en el pa\u00eds a ra\u00edz de la debilitaci\u00f3n de los Zetas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/strong> Los Zetas en Guatemala<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Si bien esta \u00faltima detenci\u00f3n es otro duro golpe a los Lorenzana, el mundo criminal en Guatemala ha demostrado ser capaz de reaccionar a problemas similares en el pasado<\/a>, y las redes de transporte rivales llenan f\u00e1cilmente los vac\u00edos que aparecen. Mientras otras redes delictivas, como los Mendoza, contin\u00faan escapando de la atenci\u00f3n de las autoridades<\/a>, las victorias reclamadas por las autoridades son en su mayor\u00eda superficiales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Las autoridades de Guatemala han capturado al hijo de un narcotraficante importante, quien ser\u00e1 extraditado a Estados Unidos, a
