A second group of Colombian citizens was deported on Friday, June 16, because they had pending cases in their country, reports the National Migration Service.
It was the second group of 12 deported this week and the sixth flight to Colombia due to pending cases.
The group of 12 people attempted to enter the country through the migratory flow from the province of Darién, however it was detected by the biometric controls.
This is the second group of 12
who was deported due to their legal situation in Colombia, the entity said.
“In six deportation flights and with the support of the National Aeronaval Service, a total of 66 Colombians are already in their country because they "represented a security threat to Panama."
María Isabel Saravia, deputy director of the SNM said that a man who was arrested upon arrival in Colombia traveled on the fifth flight, since he was serving a 50-month sentence for a femicide. She added that "the movement of people in the Darien jungle is taken advantage of by criminals who put vulnerable people at risk, Panamanians and foreigners in general, therefore the mission is a security task."
According to the SNM, this Friday 3 Venezuelans, 1 Peruvian and 1 Mexican were also deported..
