“We are on the right track,” Heber said

As the United States intelligence apparatus seems to be expanding throughout the region, Uruguay's Interior Minister Luis Alberto Heber Thursday admitted the South American country exchanged information with the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The report comes the same week that Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benítez held talks with CIA Deputy Director David Cohen.

Heber said Uruguayan authorities had met in Uruguay with representatives of the CIA of the United States to exchange information with which to combat drug trafficking.

Representatives of the CIA were in Uruguay where an exchange of information took place, Heber told reporters. It is their “duty to have information that can help us get ahead in striking blows, for example, against drug trafficking. The other day we intercepted 500 kilos of cocaine. Artificial drugs are appearing and it worries us,” Heber also explained.
