Costa Rica
Promotes
Anti-Crime
Cooperation with
Mexico
Costa Rica's
president, Laura
Chinchilla,
announced that a
Costa Rican
delegation would
travel to Mexico
in upcoming days
to strengthen
bilateral links
in matters of
security and the
fight against
drug-trafficking.
Chinchilla said
the delegation
would hold talks
with Mexican
authorities
about the
exchange of
information and
joint
investigations.
This initiative
emerged after
the dismantling
in Costa Rica of
one of Mexico's
most dangerous
criminal
organizations:
La Familia
Michoacana.
Referring to
that event,
Chinchilla said
the visit by
high-ranking
officials to
Mexico aims to
guarantee that
Costa Rica's
soil is not used
for criminal
activities
linked to
drug-trafficking.
The Costa Rican
delegation
comprises
Minister of
Public Security
Jose Maria
Tijerino,
National Drug
Control
Commissioner
Mauricio
Boraschi, and
officials with
the Attorney
General's Office
and the Judicial
Investigation
Agency,
Chinchilla said. |
