00:00He insists on taking off on the shipment of drugs found in a container from that country

00:06and that was seized last week at the Multimodal Caucedo port in Santo Domingo.

00:12Today, the president of the Central American country, Bernardo Arévalo,

00:17made it clear that Guatemala had nothing to do with the case.

00:21On the contrary, he assured that the Dominican authorities have already accepted

00:25that it was in the country that the drug was loaded.

00:27It is not a matter of the position of the Guatemalan government,

00:30because what has already been made clear is that the Dominican authorities

00:34have already identified that the contamination of that shipment

00:38happened in the Dominican Republic, and it is already public.

00:42That is, they already said it, they already assumed it,

00:44so what is clear is that, as the Ministry of Government had said,

00:49the container in Guatemala had no contamination.

00:52It passed through Honduras, but evidently it had nothing there either.

00:56It went as far as the Dominican Republic where this issue took place,

01:00but that is already something that is public

01:03by declarations of the Dominican authorities themselves.

01:05Interviewed by the media in his country,

01:07he said that his government continues to fight drug trafficking.

01:12We have broken drug seizure records,

01:16which is a fact already recognized internationally.

01:19Obviously, those who are in that business,

01:22what interests them is to discredit the security forces,

01:25and then when they saw this situation,

01:28they thought that here was an opportunity to say,

01:30no, drugs are being allowed in Guatemala.

01:33It is already clear that this is not true.

01:34Drug smuggling is the largest shipment of seized goods in the country.

01:39For this reason, the public ministry investigates at least 15 people

01:42who could be directly linked to the case.

01:46The Dominican authorities said they did not know

01:49if it was in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras or Guatemala,

01:54where this container was contaminated

01:57and what were the countries where this container passed through.
