Las autoridades de Costa Rica han detenido a varios integrantes de una red de narcotr\u00e1fico dirigida por antiguos agentes de seguridad, lo que pone de relieve una tendencia de intensificaci\u00f3n de la corrupci\u00f3n en los organismos de seguridad del pa\u00eds centroamericano, atizado por la expansi\u00f3n de su rol como punto de trasbordo de la droga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El 23 de mayo, las autoridades costarricenses arrestaron a 22 presuntos miembros de un grupo de transportadores liderado por antiguos miembros del servicio de guardacostas y la polic\u00eda nacional del pa\u00eds, seg\u00fan un comunicado oficial<\/a> del Ministerio de Seguridad P\u00fablica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Se presume que los exagentes de orden p\u00fablico ayudaban a transportar cargamentos de droga provenientes de Colombia y Ecuador, con destino a Estados Unidos por territorio costarricense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los cargamentos se recuperaban de puntos estrat\u00e9gicos en el mar, usando lanchas r\u00e1pidas de bandera costarricense que llevaban el producto a la costa sur del pa\u00eds, donde se regresaba a los proveedores suramericanos, seg\u00fan CRHoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El medio informativo tambi\u00e9n se\u00f1al\u00f3 que los proveedores pagaban con coca\u00edna a la red de transporte, y ellos la revend\u00edan en Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VEA TAMBI\u00c9N: <\/strong>Noticias y perfil de Costa Rica<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las autoridades indican que la red reclutaba agentes del orden p\u00fablico activos para que les proporcionaran informaci\u00f3n confidencial sobre los movimientos y operativos de los cuerpos de seguridad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entre los arrestados hab\u00eda un agente de polic\u00eda activo y cuatro guardacostas activos, seg\u00fan una nota aparte de CRHoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En los dos \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, las autoridades confiscaron presuntamente 8,5 toneladas de coca\u00edna y casi US$1 mill\u00f3n vinculados a la red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con la expansi\u00f3n<\/a> del rol de Costa Rica en el negocio de la droga en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, tambi\u00e9n ha crecido el problema de la corrupci\u00f3n en los organismos de seguridad. Y as\u00ed como en otros pa\u00edses de Centroarm\u00e9rica, agentes de orden p\u00fablico, activos y retirados, tienen una participaci\u00f3n importante en la cadena de tr\u00e1fico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El cartel Perrones,<\/a> en El Salvador, y la familia Lorenzana, <\/a>de Guatemala, fueron dos de los grupos transportistas m\u00e1s nombrados de Latinoam\u00e9rica. El \u00e9xito y la longevidad de ambas redes dependi\u00f3 en mucha medida de su habilidad para establecer alianzas con agentes de seguridad y \u00e9lites corruptas con el fin de mover sin interferencia cargamentos de drogas para organizaciones criminales de mayor tama\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los recientes arrestos en Costa Rica indican que las fuerzas de seguridad, en ejercicio y en retiro, tambi\u00e9n tienen una participaci\u00f3n central en la ayuda a los grupos transportistas<\/span>. De hecho, en junio de 2017 las autoridades costarricenses <\/span>arrestaron<\/span><\/a> a un exoficial de polic\u00eda de alto rango por la presunta protecci\u00f3n de un cargamento de coca\u00edna, y por brindar log\u00edstica y seguridad a grupos narcotraficantes que mueven drogas en el pa\u00eds.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
