According to Tarek El Aissami, Venezuela's Minister of Interior
and Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) "is
an accomplice of and is engaged with the main international
drug cartels."
El Aissami compared the work of Venezuela's National Anti-drug
Office (ONA) with the activities of the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) upon leaving a meeting with transportation leaders.
"They (the DEA) know the names of the US drug-traffickers
but the US authorities have not implemented any effective
measures against these mafias in their territory."
The minister explained that Venezuela is making "huge" efforts
to arrest the leaders of drug cartels as well as drugs distribution
and use. El-Aissami wondered why the United States had not
made similar efforts.
