Intelligence agents of the National Border Service have detected a Colombian national in the Jaqué sector, Darién. It was revealed that this individual entered Panamanian territory after traveling from the United States, Mexico, and Central America overland. It has been confirmed that the subject has an arrest warrant issued by the United States, being accused of money laundering, and is being sought by the US Marshals for extradition purposes.
The Colombian citizen was handed over to Panamanian immigration authorities to carry out the necessary procedures. According to reports, the aforementioned individual is in the process of being extradited to the United States to face charges related to money laundering.
In the words of the authorities of the National Border Service, this detection is a clear example of the effectiveness of collaboration between national and international security institutions and agencies. Such cases reinforce Panama's commitment to combating crime and money laundering, once again demonstrating the importance of border surveillance to prevent the entry of individuals with criminal backgrounds internationally.
