WASHINGTON — Drug traffickers are adjusting to law enforcement pressures in Mexico by shifting their operations to smuggling corridors in Central America and the Caribbean, the State Department said Monday.
“There is growing evidence that Mexico’s drug-trafficking organizations are already establishing a presence in these regions, particularly in some Central American states,” the department said. In a 2009 survey of global counter-narcotics efforts, the department singled out Bolivia and Venezuela for not doing enough to stop drug trafficking.
