3 Boats From Colombia With 26 Illegal Migrants Were Just Captured

Three boats were detected transporting 26 migrants of various nationalities, 5 miles from Playa Luciano, in the Pacific Panama. Minister Frank Abrego explained that thanks to the intelligence work by the public forces, it was possible to identify that the three boats had departed from Colombia bound for the Punta Ardita sector, on the border.  There, Panamanian ‘bad actors’ waited to continue the move to a foundry near the community of Jaque.  “These illicit activities, characterized as human trafficking, will not go unpunished.”  Those responsible will be put at the behest of the competent authorities for their due trial,” Abrego asserted firmly.  The security head highlighted that operations by land, air and sea have intensified with the aim of capturing these criminals who profit from human tragedy, regardless of the lives they endanger.
