According to the same source, of those arrested, 13 are foreigners, mostly of Nigerian and South African nationality.<\/p>\n

The arrests recorded occurred until March 2022 in operations that resulted in the seizure of 82 kilos of drugs, including heroin, cocaine and cannabis \u2013 all incinerated on Friday.<\/p>\n

The country is pointed out by several international organisations as a transit corridor for international drug trafficking to Europe and the United States, particularly of heroin from Asia, but seizures of cocaine from South America have also increased.<\/p>\n
