15 thousand arrests in Latin America/ Drugs worth $5 billion are seized!

Police in Latin America have seized $5 billion worth of cocaine and other drugs in a three-week operation spanning 15 countries.

As part of Operation Trigger IX, more than 8,000 illegal firearms, 305,000 rounds of ammunition and almost 15,000 arrests were made. 

Police forces from Mexico in the north to Argentina in the south shared information in the operation, which was coordinated by Interpol. Interpol said the arrests helped break up powerful gangs.

More specifically, on the ground, coordinated actions led to the disruption of 20 organized criminal groups, including the arrest of members of Primeiro Comando da Capital, Mara Salvatrucha and the Balkan Cartel, all involved in firearms trafficking.

The gang first emerged in Brazil but has expanded to operate internationally and is linked to the murder of a Paraguayan prosecutor while he was on his honeymoon in Colombia. 

This incident came to light after authorities also had immediate access to INTERPOL's Ballistic Information Network (IBIN), enabling law enforcement officials to compare ballistic fingerprint images from cartridges and fired shells to establish links between crimes worldwide.

Tracing the history and ownership of recovered firearms has provided important investigative leads. Each firearm is unique and can be identified by serial number, make, model and caliber as well as 'fingerprint'. 

The operation, in which 15 countries cooperated, also identified a number of other crimes such as corruption, fraud, human trafficking, environmental crime and terrorist activities. 11 victims of human trafficking were rescued in Paraguay, where authorities dismantled the trafficking network.

Criminal gangs in Mexico, Central and South America are increasingly well-armed, and local police often find themselves tasked with dealing with them.

Consequently, the operation called Trigger IX, launched on March 12 to April 2, was an international effort aimed primarily at combating the trafficking of illegal firearms.

Participating countries  : Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay. Operation Trigger IX was funded by the European Union.
