\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Authorities in Panama\u2019s northwestern province of Bocas del Toro have intercepted a string of vessels carrying large amounts of cocaine, a sign that traffickers are using the archipelago as part of long-range Caribbean Sea routes as pandemic border closures hamper overland movement.<\/p>\n

Panama\u2019s National Aeronaval Service (Servicio Nacional Aeronaval \u2013 SENAN)\u00a0seized\u00a0almost three tons<\/a>\u00a0of cocaine in mid-September\u00a0from a speedboat in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, which borders Costa Rica, according to a\u00a0tweet<\/a>\u00a0by the agency.<\/p>\n

The seizure was only the latest in a chain of busts. Between January and July 2020, 10.5 tons of cocaine were seized in waters off Bocas del Toro, a third of the\u00a0nearly 35 tons<\/a>\u00a0registered nationally, according\u00a0to figures from the Attorney General\u2019s Office\u00a0cited by news outlet Metro Libre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speedboats were involved in more than half the seizures,\u00a0La Estrella de Panam\u00e1 reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More sophisticated trafficking methods have also been found. In February, SENAN intercepted a submarine carrying\u00a0five tons<\/a>\u00a0of cocaine in Bocas del Toro. It had been \u201cclose to 10 years since the Caribbean had seen or detected the presence of a semi-submersible,\u201d a senior officer in the Colombian navy told\u00a0US military news site Di\u00e1logo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Large-scale\u00a0drug trafficking<\/a>\u00a0continues to plague Panama, with cocaine seizures having risen to a\u00a0record<\/a>\u00a0of 78 tons in 2019. On September 16, US President Donald Trump included Panama in a\u00a0memorandum<\/a>\u00a0identifying the world\u2019s major illicit drug-producing and drug transit countries.<\/p>\n

Panama drug prosecutor Javier Caraballo stressed that the increase in both the number and volume of Caribbean seizures marks a\u00a0trend<\/a>, one \u201cthat we are still studying to see how we can adapt quickly,\u201d he told news agency EFE.<\/p>\n

InSight Crime Analysis<\/h3>\n

While the Pacific has\u00a0offered a popular<\/a>\u00a0maritime drug route through Panama, border closings with Colombia and restrictions since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic have seemingly forced traffickers to make heavier use of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

Though seizures are not a perfect proxy for measuring drug trafficking, several factors have likely led to the spike in intercepts off the coast of Bocas del Toro.<\/p>\n

For one thing, maritime patrols have increased, according to Grisel Bethancourt, an independent journalist in Panama. Traffickers are also increasingly using the sea route \u201cbecause it is easier to carry more tons of drugs because it comes directly from Colombia,\u201d she told InSight Crime.<\/p>\n

\n

Panama has been described as the \u201cmouth of the funnel<\/a>\u201d due to its shared border with Colombia, the world\u2019s largest producer of cocaine. Bocas del Toro is ideally situated within that funnel. Its archipelago\u00a0facilitates<\/a>\u00a0the hiding and smuggling of drug shipments, and its inaccessibility \u2014 road connections only arrived in the 1980s \u2014 complicates interdiction efforts. It also shares a porous border with Costa Rica that passes through a national park, in which there is a history of\u00a0drug trafficking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Bethancourt, it is highly unusual for drug boats to travel so far north in Caribbean waters off Panama\u2019s coast. \u201cTypically, traffickers favor launching boats from the Colombian city of\u00a0Turbo<\/a>, off the Gulf of Urab\u00e1, to the province of Col\u00f3n in Panama,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The increase in cocaine seizures could be linked to the\u00a0re-opening<\/a>\u00a0of certain drug routes by one of Colombia\u2019s\u00a0most powerful<\/a>\u00a0trafficking groups: the\u00a0Urabe\u00f1os<\/a>, also known as the Gulf Clan. Sources in northern Colombia reported to the\u00a0Organized Crime and Corruption Project<\/a>\u00a0in May that several of these re-opened routes did indeed operate through Panama.<\/p>\n

\n

And finally, the increased trafficking in the Caribbean also reflects a wider pattern across Central America. Honduras has experienced a\u00a0dramatic rise<\/a>\u00a0in cocaine seizures this year, predominantly in the province of Gracias a Dios, on the Caribbean coast. Likewise, Guatemala continues to struggle with the volumes of cocaine flowing through its\u00a0Caribbean ports<\/a>. As for Costa Rica, it has witnessed both its\u00a0Caribbean coastal communities<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0biggest port<\/a>\u00a0turn into drug trafficking epicenters.
