Paraguay's decision to cease cooperation with the U.S. counters years of successful joint efforts against organized crime. It jeopardizes vital investigations into drug trafficking.
Deny Yoon Pak emphasized the implications of the halt, stating, 'Who is going to investigate for me to capture Sebastián Marset? Nobody.' This highlights the uncertainty in tackling organized crime.
U.S. officials expressed serious concerns about Paraguay's withdrawal from DEA collaboration, noting, 'We are concerned about what it means that Paraguay’s antidrug agency no longer wants to be part of such a successful mechanism.'
Minister Jalil Rachid indicated a shift in focus, clarifying that while DEA cooperation ends, anti-narcotics efforts will be redirected to the police force, aiming to maintain operational integrity.
