Una alta funcionaria del gobierno afirm\u00f3 que Per\u00fa podr\u00eda estar en riesgo de convertirse en un narcoestado, una afirmaci\u00f3n cuestionable que, no obstante, refleja lo que parece ser una profunda penetraci\u00f3n de los grupos narcotraficantes en la pol\u00edtica del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En entrevista con el diario Per\u00fa21<\/a>, la congresista Rosa Mavila dijo que los narcoaviones sacan alrededor de 1,5 toneladas de coca\u00edna diariamente del centro cocalero de Per\u00fa \u2014una regi\u00f3n conocida como el VRAEM\u2014. \u201cEntender\u00e1 que esto podr\u00eda calificar como narcoestado\u201d, a\u00f1adi\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mavila encabeza una comisi\u00f3n del Congreso<\/a> que investiga v\u00ednculos entre pol\u00edticos y crimen organizado. En la misma entrevista, aclara que no considera que en la actualidad Per\u00fa sea un narcoestado, pero que s\u00ed corre el riesgo de hacerlo en el futuro. Los pol\u00edticos suelen ser cooptados por el crimen organizado a nivel local m\u00e1s que a nivel nacional, agreg\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tambi\u00e9n dijo que algunas de las se\u00f1ales m\u00e1s fuertes de los nexos narcopol\u00edticos en Per\u00fa son la desaparici\u00f3n de documentos judiciales de casos que involucran a presuntos narcotraficantes y las largas demoras en el sistema judicial. \u201cAs\u00ed se generan redes de corrupci\u00f3n por el soborno\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mavila podr\u00eda estar exagerando acerca del potencial de Per\u00fa para convertirse en un narcoestado (no existe una definici\u00f3n precisa para el t\u00e9rmino, pero com\u00fanmente es usado para describir a aquellos pa\u00edses donde el imperio de la ley ha sido casi totalmente suplantado<\/a> por el accionar de grupos criminales transnacionales). El hecho de que un gran n\u00famero de drogas est\u00e9n siendo producidas y traficadas desde la regi\u00f3n del VRAEM no representa en s\u00ed mismo una raz\u00f3n suficiente para calificar al pa\u00eds andino como un \u201cnarcoestado\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sin embargo, es cierto que las organizaciones narcotraficantes est\u00e1n bien posicionadas para infiltrar las instituciones pol\u00edticas peruanas. En agosto de 2014, el ministro del Interior de Per\u00fa, Daniel Urresti, inform\u00f3 que al menos 115 candidatos pol\u00edticos a nivel local<\/a> y regional hab\u00edan sido investigados por casos de tr\u00e1fico de drogas. El pasado diciembre, Per\u00fa eligi\u00f3 al menos seis gobernadores<\/a> que hab\u00edan enfrentado investigaciones por tr\u00e1fico de drogas, corrupci\u00f3n y lavado de activos. A otros 350 candidatos que buscaban ocupar cargos a nivel municipal se les prohibi\u00f3 participar en las elecciones<\/a> debido a su historial criminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n VEA TAMBI\u00c9N:<\/span><\/strong> Noticias y Perfiles de Per\u00fa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Contrario a lo afirmado por Mavila, la corrupci\u00f3n parece ser un problema end\u00e9mico a nivel nacional y no s\u00f3lo a nivel local. Unos fiscales reabrieron recientemente una investigaci\u00f3n contra Nadine Heredia<\/a>, la primera dama y presidenta del Partido Nacionalista, por lavado de activos. Por otra parte, el expresidente Alberto Fujimori contin\u00faa en prisi\u00f3n por violaciones a los derechos humanos y malversaci\u00f3n de fondos, mientras que Alan Garc\u00eda, otro expresidente, podr\u00eda ser condenado por el esc\u00e1ndalo de los \u201cnarcoindultos<\/a>\u201d. En septiembre de 2014, el Congreso aprob\u00f3 levantar cargos contra un tercer exjefe de Estado, Alejandro Toledo<\/a>, por lavado de dinero y concierto para delinquir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Una alta funcionaria del gobierno afirm\u00f3 que Per\u00fa podr\u00eda estar en riesgo de convertirse en un narcoestado, una
