El Salvador’s navy has seized more than 4,100 kilograms of cocaine at sea. The drugs were transported in two fast boats.
El Salvador’s president divided the drug bust Twitter. According to him, seven people on board the boats have been arrested: five men from Colombia and two from Ecuador. According to the president, the drugs are worth more than $100 million.
El Salvador is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. One third of the population lives in poverty, according to the United Nations. Drug cartels smuggle large amounts of drugs through El Salvador and other countries in Central America to Europe and America.
