A news report today says that an alleged Panamanian gang leader arrested in Spain is linked to a 2011 company that exported scrap and ferrous metal to the Netherlands and Colombia.
The media also reports a “dramatic” increase in Ecuadorian migrants crossing the Darién Gap from Colombia, with 100 counted amoung the 6,352 migrants so far this year. The fatal bus crash last week included more Ecuadorians than other nationalities.
Meanwhile, the stand-off between the Government and the mining company continues.
