El mes pasado, las autoridades de Guatemala descubrieron dos laboratorios de metanfetamina, lo que demuestra que el pa\u00eds participa cada vez m\u00e1s en el suministro a los crecientes mercados de drogas sint\u00e9ticas de Latinoam\u00e9rica y Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los bomberos que llegaron a un inmueble en llamas en el departamento de Escuintla, al sur del pa\u00eds, alertaron que la residencia posiblemente era usada como laboratorio de drogas, inform\u00f3 Siglo21<\/a>. Las autoridades posteriormente incautaron varios barriles que conten\u00edan sustancias sint\u00e9ticas a\u00fan no identificadas, as\u00ed como equipos utilizados en la producci\u00f3n de metanfetamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A finales de enero, la polic\u00eda guatemalteca incaut\u00f3 30.000 libras de qu\u00edmicos <\/a>en un laboratorio de metanfetamina en San Marcos, ciudad ubicada al occidente del pa\u00eds y cercana a la frontera con M\u00e9xico. Seg\u00fan las autoridades<\/a>, las drogas son llevadas a M\u00e9xico por v\u00eda mar\u00edtima despu\u00e9s de ser procesadas<\/p>\n\n\n\n Las medidas de cooperaci\u00f3n establecidas en 2014 le permitieron a Guatemala intercambiar informaci\u00f3n de inteligencia <\/a>con Belice, Honduras y El Salvador, con el fin de combatir el tr\u00e1fico de precursores qu\u00edmicos y la producci\u00f3n de drogas sint\u00e9ticas. El reciente descubrimiento de estos dos laboratorios indica que Guatemala es un punto importante para la producci\u00f3n de drogas sint\u00e9ticas en la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n El pr\u00f3spero tr\u00e1fico ilegal de precursores qu\u00edmicos <\/a>provenientes de Asia, los d\u00e9biles controles estatales <\/a>y la cercan\u00eda del pa\u00eds a M\u00e9xico, han hecho de Guatemala un centro de operaciones ideal para las redes narcotraficantes mexicanas que producen metanfetamina. En 2014, las autoridades descubrieron un laboratorio de metanfetamina en el departamento de Santa Rosa, al sureste del pa\u00eds, que probablemente estaba relacionado con el Cartel de Sinaloa y que seg\u00fan las estimaciones ten\u00eda la capacidad de producir m\u00e1s de tres toneladas <\/a>de drogas sint\u00e9ticas cada mes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N<\/strong><\/span>: Noticias y perfiles de Guatemala<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A pesar de los esfuerzos de las autoridades por combatir esta actividad, es probable que los carteles mexicanos contin\u00faen incrementando los niveles de producci\u00f3n de metanfetamina en Guatemala, en parte debido al aumento del consumo de drogas sint\u00e9ticas <\/a>en Estados Unidos durante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. Adem\u00e1s, la reducci\u00f3n de los mercados de coca\u00edna y la legalizaci\u00f3n de la marihuana en muchos de los estados de Estados Unidos han impulsado a los carteles a traficar ilegalmente otro tipo de drogas al pa\u00eds, como la hero\u00edna <\/a>y la metanfetamina. La aparici\u00f3n de varios laboratorios de metanfetamina en Guatemala y otros lugares de Centroam\u00e9rica<\/a> apunta a un crecimiento en el mercado de drogas sint\u00e9ticas <\/a>en Latinoam\u00e9rica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El mes pasado, las autoridades de Guatemala descubrieron dos laboratorios de metanfetamina, lo que demuestra que el pa\u00eds participa cada vez m\u00e1s en el suministro a los crecientes mercados de drogas sint\u00e9ticas de Latinoam\u00e9rica y Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":42058,"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":[396,374,3527],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3924],"class_list":["post-7614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-cartel-de-sinaloa","tag-guatemala-pais","tag-metanfetamina","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/laboratorios-metanfetamina-guatemala-evidencian-creciente-papel-produccion\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Laboratorios de metanfetamina en Guatemala evidencian su creciente papel en la producci\u00f3n","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/laboratorios-metanfetamina-guatemala-evidencian-creciente-papel-produccion\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/laboratorios-metanfetamina-guatemala-evidencian-creciente-papel-produccion\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/es-15-02-16-GuatemalaMethLab.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/es-15-02-16-GuatemalaMethLab.jpg?fit=250%2C200&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"David Gagne"}],"creator":["David Gagne"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["cartel de sinaloa","guatemala","metanfetamina"],"dateCreated":"2017-03-28T00:07:06Z","datePublished":"2017-03-28T00:07:06Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:44:02Z"},"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":202499,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/produccion-metanfetamina-mexico-coctel-toxico-medio-ambiente\/","url_meta":{"origin":7614,"position":0},"title":"Producci\u00f3n de metanfetamina en M\u00e9xico, un c\u00f3ctel t\u00f3xico para el medio ambiente","author":"Victoria Dittmar","date":"3 de noviembre de 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Son m\u00e1s de 33 grados cent\u00edgrados y un fuerte olor a animal muerto contamina el aire fresco de las monta\u00f1as de la Sierra Madre Occidental.
