| But while the Free Zone doesn't have narco activity occurring, the ComPol acknowledged that there are operatives in the country. But was Johnny Arana, the man killed in Consejo last week, one of them? We asked Williams.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"We know that we do have operatives in Belize who are on the side of the cartels, we know that, and I'm not going to into details in terms of our operational strategies but certainly as a part thereof is to make sure we target those persons we believe are operating in Belize for the cartels, and I'll leave it at that."
Courtney Menzies:
"The murder in Consejo with Johnny Arana, we understand his death was narco related, can you confirm this and is it related somehow to the situation happening in Chetumal right now?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"We know that it has a lot to do with the issue of drug distribution in Corozal, we can't say if it is narco related, we believe that those persons who executed that murder are from Belize and we're looking for them."
