Record drug seizures predicted for the year

The Minister of Security, Manuel Pino, projects a historic figure in drug seizures for the year 2022.The expectations are placed on the 65 tons registered at the end of the first semester and the 1.7 tons presented on the first day of the second semester.

“Everything points to the fact that we are going to beat last year’s record figure,” Pino stressed during the installation this Saturday of the “Panamá Centro” Stars tournament, which aims to achieve peaceful coexistence in the communities, and keep children away from crime.

Pino said that next month they will receive a maritime patrol plane, and more boats, among other security elements to reinforce the operations that are about to be carried out.

“What is wanted is that every day we can provide security to our maritime and border territory because the risks come from outside,” he said.
