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

US counterdrug agents and authorities in Panama have recently targeted one of the country\u2019s largest gangs, revealing its ability to coordinate drug shipments northward. But the group, known as Bagdad, may not be able to withstand the pressure.<\/p>\n

After an\u00a0investigation<\/a>\u00a0lasting over a year, Panama\u2019s security forces and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have carried out a series of\u00a0raids<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 dubbed Operation Neptune \u2014 that led to the arrests of at least\u00a020 suspected members<\/a>\u00a0of Bagdad. The arrests included several members connected to the 2019\u00a0La Joyita prison massacre<\/a>, in which 15 people died.<\/p>\n

The investigation was extensive.\u00a0Panamanian news sources<\/a>\u00a0reported that investigators followed gang members and tapped their phones. They also identified properties, companies and bank accounts belonging to gang members. The group, according to authorities, used Pacific routes to move Colombian cocaine north, after which it was passed on to other criminal actors.<\/p>\n

Bagdad<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a criminal federation composed of 30 to 40 smaller gangs \u2014 is led by Jorge Rub\u00e9n Camargo Clarke, alias \u201cCholo Chorrillo,\u201d who had been previously jailed on homicide and gang charges\u00a0but was released<\/a>\u00a0in 2018.<\/p>\n

A turning point in the investigation came in late 2020, when security forces staked out the birthday party of Camargo Clarke\u2019s girlfriend, attended by most of Bagdad\u2019s leadership. Several raids took place that same night, one targeting the house of Camargo Clarke\u2019s sister,\u00a0Panama Press reported<\/a>. Prosecutors have alleged that she is in charge of Bagdad\u2019s finances and is listed as president or legal representative on many of its front companies.<\/p>\n

In the sister\u2019s house, investigators found a notebook with a list of police officers who were allegedly on the gang\u2019s payroll. One officer was even\u00a0providing security\u00a0<\/a>for the party and had been giving Bagdad information about police movements, according to Panama America.<\/p>\n

The raids did not capture Camargo Clarke who, intelligence sources\u00a0told La Prensa<\/a>, is presumed to have fled the country along with other top Bagdad members.<\/p>\n

InSight Crime Analysis<\/h3>\n

The DEA\u2019s participation\u00a0in the investigation against Bagdad shows that the Panama gang has\u00a0emerged as a crucial link in the transnational cocaine trafficking chain between Colombia and the United States.<\/p>\n

While Panama has been growing in importance as a transport nation both\u00a0to Europe<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0the US<\/a>, the DEA\u2019s interest in Bagdad is noteworthy.<\/p>\n

The group<\/a>\u00a0has gone from being a gang of \u201ctumbadores,\u201d or thieves specialized in stealing drugs from other groups, to controlling cocaine shipments crossing Panama.<\/p>\n

The gang has also been behind\u00a0much of the bloodshed\u00a0<\/a>in Panama\u2019s streets and prisons. According to\u00a0Panamanian officials<\/a>, Bagdad controls about 50 percent of domestic drug sales in the country.<\/p>\n

Bagdad has shown its capacity to coordinate sophisticated transport operations through Panama by both land and sea. One of the group\u2019s members, alias \u201cDutary,\u201d ran a\u00a0drug distribution and transport network\u00a0<\/a>through the archipelago of Las Perlas, islands off the country\u2019s Pacific coast. There, he enrolled fishermen in his operations to act as informants and drug runners.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, the group has managed to capture key territory within the country.\u00a0According to one prosecutor<\/a>, Bagdad has not only maintained control over its traditional Panama City strongholds but has also expanded to other neighborhoods in the capital and outside of it, including the provinces of Panam\u00e1 Oeste and Veraguas.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most tellingly,\u00a0officials admit<\/a>\u00a0that the group has successfully co-opted state security forces. The Panama Press\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0allegations that the police officers found on Bagdad\u2019s payroll both helped members to avoid arrest and to plan drug trafficking operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cBagdad is not a gang, nor a criminal organization. It\u2019s a criminal corporation with all the economic layers and money launderers needed to commit crimes at the national level, as well as the tentacles and association with foreign criminal corporations,\u201d one prosecutor attached to the case was\u00a0quoted\u00a0<\/a>as saying.<\/p>\n

But attracting close interest from the DEA and other US authorities has often been the kiss of death for drug trafficking groups in Central America, as evidenced by the\u00a0Huistas<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Lorenzanas<\/a>\u00a0in Guatemala and\u00a0Los Valles<\/a>\u00a0in Honduras.<\/p>\n

Then there are the\u00a0Cachiros<\/a>, whose status at the time of their downfall shared a close resemblance to Bagdad today.\u00a0 In 2013, the DEA\u00a0took a special interest<\/a>\u00a0in the Cachiros, one of Honduras\u2019 largest drug transport groups. What followed were\u00a0a series of seizures<\/a>, arrests and financial pressures \u2014 as well as efforts to dismantle the group\u2019s corrupt\u00a0police network<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 that in some ways parallel the current raids on Bagdad in Panama. Honduran authorities even\u00a0referred<\/a>\u00a0to the seizures by the same name \u2013\u00a0Operation Neptune.<\/p>\n

Facing similar pressure from the DEA, Bagdad may not be able to hold out.<\/p>\n
