Honduras Removes Nearly 400 Policemen
Some 400 Honduran police agents have been removed for corruption and other irregularities in their functions, police authorities reported Saturday.

Police Office general commissioner Roberto Romero stated that the country made a meticulous investigation to prove the officials' implication in crimes like armed robberies or protecting renowned criminals.

In October, Security Minister Alvaro Romero infiltrated agents as observers, to check the work of those policemen.

According to authorities, some of those separated policemen had received expensive courses of ethics and good citizen's behavior.

Honduras, with seven million inhabitants and one of the most violent countries in Central America, has only about 9,000 policemen.
