Colombian police arrested 143 foreigners suspected of drug trafficking in 2010, counter-narcotics chief Cesar Augusto Pinzon told Spanish press agency Efe Monday.

According to the police chief, among the foreigners are “31 Spanish, 13 Mexicans, 10 Dominicans, seven Dutchmen and seven Americans.”

PInzon said all these foreigners were “put in jails in the country,” but couldn’t say if the suspects had been convicted.
