Four officers from the Colombian Navy were arrested for allowing operations they were supposed to counter, reported El Espectador newspaper on Sunday.
The officers, two of whom are retired, allegedly received bribes to allow drug traffickers to by-pass controls in Nariño and Cauca, two of Colombia’s most important provinces for drug trafficking on the Pacific.
The captured said to be part of Coast Guard operations in the area, and allegedly used their positions to temporarily halt patrols thus creating safe passage for drug traffickers to move goods, according to Cauca’s chief prosecutor, Raul Gonzalez.
“It is established that they generated an entire activity to allow transport without any problems through the movement of the Coast Guard stations; they themselves also the damaged boats so they could not go out on patrol,” said Gonzalez.
