Bolivian President Luis Arce spoke on X, formerly Twitter, about “historic results” in the fight against drug trafficking. According to FELCN, four men were arrested and several properties were searched.
Cocaine is produced almost exclusively in the South American countries of Bolivia, Colombia and Peru and then mainly smuggled to the US and Europe. Powerful cartels are behind international smuggling. On transit routes, drug smuggling causes brutal violence and widespread corruption. Partly due to the drug trade, Latin America is one of the most dangerous regions in the world.
