HAVANA TIMES – Cuba and Italy signed a police cooperation agreement on Wednesday in Havana, which among other things includes increased cooperation to combat organized crime and drug trafficking, DPA reported.

The Caribbean island “has a geographic location that places it in a strategic role in the international drug trade,” said Italian Deputy Interior Minister, Filippo Bubbico, after meeting with Cuba’s Minister of the Interior, Gen. Abelardo Colome Ibarra.

According to the note, several Italian mafias are involved in drug trafficking to Europe from Latin America, especially from South America, making Italy’s cooperation with countries in the region important.
