Una entrevista con el presunto coordinador de una red de narcotr\u00e1fico en Colombia confirma que grupos criminales transnacionales operan en Costa Rica en complicidad con empresarios locales, y con el apoyo de trabajadores de las compa\u00f1\u00edas de aduana, quienes venden informaci\u00f3n a las organizaciones criminales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El narcotraficante, identificado como alias \u201cJuan\u201d, revel\u00f3 la ruta de los cargamentos, que salen desde Cartagena hasta Puerto Lim\u00f3n, el m\u00e1s importante de Costa Rica, para continuar a Estados Unidos, Europa o China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El narcotraficante explic\u00f3 c\u00f3mo logran movilizar env\u00edos que llegan a tener hasta 20 mil kilos de coca\u00edna en camiones que transportan cemento, en una entrevista que concedi\u00f3 al programa \u201cTestigo Directo\u201d, de Caracol Televisi\u00f3n de Colombia, y que reproduce el medio digital Crhoy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNosotros hacemos los env\u00edos a Costa Rica, a trav\u00e9s de los contenedores hasta Puerto Lim\u00f3n. Nosotros all\u00e1 tenemos un contacto con el propietario de una empresa de cemento, de camiones cementeros que llevan cemento hasta Costa Rica. Normalmente mandamos m\u00e1ximo 100 kilos por cami\u00f3n\u2026 Esa empresa cuenta con\u2026 unos 200 camiones trabajando\u2026\u201d, dijo alias \u201cJuan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/strong><\/span> Cobertura sobre Costa Rica<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

El presunto coordinador de la red criminal transnacional asegur\u00f3 que la estructura del narcotr\u00e1fico en Costa Rica funciona como en Colombia. Insisti\u00f3 en la participaci\u00f3n de empresarios con compa\u00f1\u00edas legalmente establecidas, que son usadas para legalizar el dinero producto del tr\u00e1fico de drogas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTenemos un gran equipo trabajando, desde Cartagena a Costa Rica\u201d, dice la entrevista reproducida por Crhoy.com. Esta estructura incluye a funcionarios de las aduanas del pa\u00eds centroamericano, quienes cobran por dejar pasar los contenedores con la droga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u00e1lisis InSight Crime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Las declaraciones del presunto narcotraficante ratifican la informaci\u00f3n publicada en una amplia investigaci\u00f3n<\/a> realizada recientemente por el diario La Naci\u00f3n, donde se muestran las rutas y maniobras que utilizan los traficantes de drogas en Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el reportaje de La Naci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n se hace referencia a la cooptaci\u00f3n de ciudadanos costarricenses y de empresarios de ese pa\u00eds con las redes del narcotr\u00e1fico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el caso de Costa Rica, los grupos del crimen organizado tambi\u00e9n han aprovechado su pr\u00f3spera industria exportaci\u00f3n para movilizar grandes cargamentos de droga, principalmente hacia Estados Unidos, en colaboraci\u00f3n con los carteles mexicanos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El ministro de seguridad de Costa Rica, Gustavo Mata, reconoci\u00f3 que las autoridades han tenido dificultades para controlar el paso de la droga por su pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEsto es un tsunami. Ellos aprovechan espacio a\u00e9reo, fronteras terrestres, [rutas] mar\u00edtimas\u201d, explic\u00f3. \u201cEs un bombardeo constante. Mientras la polic\u00eda encuentra un cargamento, tres o cuatro m\u00e1s est\u00e1n entrando\u201d, declar\u00f3 a La Naci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
