“Una incautación récord” de Aduanas: ONU destaca histórico decomiso de 690 toneladas de precursores químicos

Recently, the United Nations praised a record-breaking seizure made by Customs in Peru. In total, 690 tons of precursor chemicals were confiscated in an operation that lasted for three days. These chemicals are often used to create illegal drugs like cocaine and, according to officials, the seizure represents a significant blow to the drug trade. Among the chemicals discovered were hydrochloric acid and acetone, both commonly used in the manufacturing process of cocaine. The operation took place near the country’s southern border, which is a popular spot for smugglers due to the difficult terrain. The UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime praised the operation as a significant deterrent to organized crime and a demonstration of Peru’s commitment to fighting drug trafficking. This is a remarkable achievement in the ongoing efforts to combat international drug trafficking, which often has devastating effects on communities around the world. It highlights the importance of international cooperation and partnership in the fight against organized crime and the illegal drug trade.
