The United States Embassy in Colombia and Colombian authorities have enhanced anti-human trafficking controls at Cartagena Airport. Training was provided to 29 officials from Colombia's National Police Directorate of Protection and Special Services (DIPRO) and Migracion Colombia. The goal was to identify and prevent perpetrators of child sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
During the eight-day operational period, over 450 inspections were conducted, resulting in the denial of entry to 38 individuals suspected of criminal links. This is the third training session of its kind at Colombian airports, aimed at strengthening joint capabilities and information exchange to protect vulnerable populations and dismantle criminal networks.
