Arrests in Panama

A link to an article from El Universal (Mexico City) is provided below. The article notes a change in the demographics of drug related arrests in Panama. It appears Colombian groups are ceding or yielding freight business to Mexican groups. It seems on the surface that Sinaloa and the Gulf are expanding operations in Panama.

On the side, this may be related to an expansion of the presence of Mexican cartels in Argentina, to acquire 'efedrina'. Let us remember that a significant percentage of freight processed in labs controlled by Sinaloa and the Gulf is shipped to European customers. Not everything is shipped to American customers.
