Santa Ana is a key transit point for criminal groups smuggling cocaine and marijuana between El Salvador and Guatemala. It also has a strong gang presence. The Texis Cartel also appears to be once again gaining steam. The Barrio 18 and the Mara Salvatrucha MS13 street gangs have a strong presence in the department and are involved in local drug peddling, contraband and extortion. In the north of the department, the group engages in drug peddling, murder-for-hire, extortion and arms trafficking. Barrio There appear to be only four active Barrio 18 cliques in the department, mostly dedicated to extorting transport companies in the administrative capital, also called Santa Ana. Both gangs maintain a strong presence in the department and use firearms on a daily basis to enforce their territorial control, meaning there is at least a medium-size illicit arms market in Santa Ana. Cocaine: Santa Ana is a key transit point for cocaine, and it is the epicenter for the Texis Cartel. The revival of this once-dominant group appears to be driving a mid-sized cocaine economy in Santa Ana. Cannabis: Between and mid, Salvadoran authorities seized more cannabis in Santa Ana than in any other department — almost nine metric tons. In the departmental capital, both the MS13 and Barrio 18 operate healthy cannabis retail markets. In addition, more marijuana is cultivated in Santa Ana than in any other department in El Salvador. The shared border with Guatemala is an important entry point for cannabis, also contributing to what appears to be a mid-sized cannabis trade in Santa Ana. Environmental Crime: There appears to be some small-scale illegal logging within the department, but no sign of a significant criminal economy. Santa Ana also houses endangered bird species, some of which have been rescued by local wildlife organizations. Human Trafficking: In , the San Cristobal border crossing in Santa Ana was identified as a transit point for human trafficking victims being transported between El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, though there is little to suggest this is a major criminal economy. A lack of border patrols makes policing human trafficking a difficult task for authorities. Human Smuggling: It is estimated that just over 3, Salvadoran migrants were returned to Santa Ana in Between and , Santa Ana had one of the highest extortion rates of any Salvadoran department. In the city of Santa Ana, both gangs charge small but frequent extortion fees, with transport workers and small-business owners among the most common targets. Severe underreporting makes it difficult to quantify how much the gangs earn from extortion. Money Laundering: The Texis Cartel has historically specialized in two criminal economies: cocaine trafficking and money laundering. Contraband smugglers have increasingly penetrated the state at the local level, allowing the involved groups to develop into more sophisticated organizations. These networks smuggle all kinds of goods, notably cattle, dairy products, coffee, and cigarettes.

He knows about the band biz and — check this out — the real estate biz, too. You may not care about the real estate biz. Hey, you may not care about the band biz. See you. This is a blog with a gamy twist. It features tenants with snakes and skunks, and musicians with smoked fish in their pockets. One fun thing to do in Latin America is buy prescription drugs off the shelf at the local drugstore. Last month I forgot my prescription pills and was in Guatemala. I emailed the Cleveland Clinic. They said it was OK for me to skip my Lipitor, but the Clinic thought I should stick with my blood-pressure medicine. But that drug trade name Bystolic is expensive and hard to find, even in the U. I went to a farmacia , and bingo, they had it. Not called Bystolic. The Latin version is from Argentina, but the same drug. And they had a Lipitor-clone from India. Then I looked for some aloe vera because I had a sun burn. No go. I found aloe vera somewhere else. Finally, I bought some pepto-abysmal. Just yank the Rx drugs off the shelves. My first time was in El Salvador in , when my asthma inhaler ran dry, and I walked into a pharmacy and got a canister. I used that canister for the next twenty years. I have faith in expired meds. I also bought some baby aspirin in Guatemala. The standard down there is mg instead of 81mg. My present inventory: 1 5 mg nebivolol, trade name Nabila. Same as American Bystolic. Made in Argentina. Same as Lipitor. When I was in Bangalore on a festival jury a couple years ago a fellow juror, a guy from Turkey, needed prescription meds. We ended up at a big hospital that had stopped seeing patients for the day, but the pharmacy was still open. My colleague told the pharmacist his problem and walked out with the meds. They worked perfectly fine. In India everything is for sale, or so it seems. Forgot your prescription meds? With all those medical needs, are you sure its safe for you to travel? I got some OTC substitutes in Toronto but went cheap and avoided paying a lot for some items which came in too-large quantities. Thank goodness nothing I take now is so crucial for a few days. I noticed this morning the three small cartons of blackberries I got at the West Side Market Monday hail all the way from Guatemala. Currently you have JavaScript disabled.
