Colombian narcos maintain control on US’ east coast: DEA

Colombian drug trafficking organizations continue to exercise significant control in drug trafficking on the United States’ east coast, according to the DEA.
In its 2015 National drug threat assessment summary, the Drug Enforcement Administration said that 90% of the cocaine consumed in the US originates from Colombia.
In the South American country, locally-based transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) like the “Urabeños” and the “Libertadores de Vichada” control most export routes.
“Colombian TCOs dominate the cocaine supply to the United States due to their experience and longstanding working relationships with Caribbean, Central American, and Mexican traffickers,” according to the report.
