In the last week of August, Peruvian authorities from DIRANDRO, SUNAT, and the Navy, in collaboration with the SEACOP-trained team, achieved two significant anti-drug operations, seizing more than 2000 kilograms of cocaine.
These operations were conducted during a narcotics search training on vessels, facilitated by the Technical Interventions Task Force (GOIT) of the Spanish Police. This success highlights the critical role of coordinated efforts in combating drug trafficking.
The involvement of DEVIDA, the focal point of the project, along with the collective intelligence and inspection work of DIRANDRO, SUNAT, the Navy, and the Ministerio Público, has become a powerful force against drug trafficking organisations.
“Whether hidden in containers or through underwater contamination methods, criminal groups cannot escape the strength of a united front,” stressed the search team.
As SEACOP’s support to Peru grows, we are thrilled to say that the Grupo Respuesta Especial-GRES Puertos strategy, has already proven to be a huge success in enhancing coordinated efforts in the Pacific region, starting from Callao.
