The Prosecutor General’s Office dismantled a drug trafficking network believed to be linked to a
Mexican drug trafficking cartel Sinaloa, it announced Friday.
Seven members of the gang were arrested for
allegedly transporting drugs to Mexican coasts from Bogota and cities
in southwest Colombia, said the Technical Group of Investigations (CTI)
of the Prosecutor Office.
Sinaloa is involved in the
smuggling and distribution of cocaine, marijuana and heroin produced in
Colombia, Mexico and Southeast Asia into the United States and other
areas.
“During the operation, the CTI
seized two vehicles, four weapons, 20 pieces of communication
equipment, computers and important documents for the investigation,”
said a CTI spokesman.
Colombian and Mexican authorities have been working closely in efforts to crack down on drug gangs in the two countries. (Xinhua)
