Venezuela: According to The United Nations / Successful Fight against Drug Trafficking, Transnationa
The United Nations ; JORGE VALERO Venezuela said the fourth largest drug seizure in the world took place in his country, which demonstrated its commitment to fighting the drug trade. As a neighbour of one of the largest cocaine producers in the world, Venezuela was used as a transit point for the transport of drugs to lucrative markets in the United States and Europe. Venezuela used various forms of technology to fight drugs, including by setting up radars to trace air flights and installing body scanners at airports. The Institute of Scientific Research, the National Drug Office and the National Guard had developed equipment to identify different types of drugs. That test cost only 9 cents, replacing narco tests that cost $7.50 and whose sale was suspended when Venezuela ended the interference of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration in its internal affairs. Venezuela also had superior drug incinerators -- ecological ovens -- that could destroy 125 kilograms of drugs per hour.
