Mozambique is increasingly becoming a hub for trafficking drugs from Latin America to Europe, Interpol warns. Ronald Noble, secretary-general of the global policing agency, said Interpol would help the southern African nation fight the narcotics trade.
Mr Noble’s visit to Maputo comes weeks after the US named Mozambican businessman Mohamed Bachir Suleman as a “drugs kingpin”. Mr Suleman denies the allegations and says he has no trafficking connections.
Under the Unites States’ Drug Kingpin Act, financial sanctions are imposed on suspected drug traffickers and US citizens are barred from doing business with them.
