The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, announced the seizure of a powerful shipment of cocaine in that country. It is about 1.2 tons of cocaine that were found 520 nautical miles from the Bocana del Cordoncillo, Estero de Jaltepeque. This Tuesday, March 28, he revealed the faces of the captured Colombians.
(In context: Bukele announces powerful seizure of Colombian cocaine and labels Petro).
The drug, valued at 30 million dollars, is one of the biggest blows to drug trafficking in recent years: “This becomes the farthest drug seizure from the coast in the history of El Salvador (963 kilometers).”
Buleke tagged in the tweet the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, with whom he has had certain differences in the last weeks.
“We have received the first photograph of our Naval Force with the three Colombians detained with the cocaine shipment,” he said in recent hours. In addition, he shared the first image of the nationals who would be involved in the case.
