The president of GuatemalaBernardo Arévalo, stated this Thursday that “it was already clear” that the container in which almost 10 tons of cocaine were seized last week was loaded in the Dominican Republic and the Dominican authorities have admitted this.
“It has already become clear that it is not true (that the drug came from Guatemala), It was already clear that the contamination took place in the Dominican Republic“Arévalo said.
When approached by journalists from his country, the Guatemalan president attributed the “intentions of those who are in the drug trafficking business” to discredit the authorities.
The cache, the largest seized in the history of the Dominican Republic, was seized last week at the Multimodal Caucedo port, in Boca Chica, Santo Domingo province.
Although Arévalo maintained that the information is public, the Dominican authorities have not yet admitted, as the president of Guatemalathat the drug was not imported.
- “And it is already public, that is, they have already said it, they have already assumed it, so it is clear, as the Ministry of the Interior has said, the container in Guatemala It didn’t have any contamination, it passed through Honduras, but obviously it didn’t have anything there either,” emphasized the head of state of the Central American country.
