United States Attorney Office -Southern District of New York
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged, Maximiliano Davila-Perez abused his position as the head of Bolivia’s anti-narcotics law enforcement agency to instead aid the very narcotics traffickers he was entrusted to investigate and arrest. Along the way, he sought to use Bolivian law enforcement officers to guard and transport cocaine shipments and participate in the shipment of massive quantities of cocaine. While this conduct is abhorrent, it is sadly not shocking; instead, this is the latest example of our work with the DEA’s Special Operations Division in rooting out this type of cocaine-fueled corruption around the globe. Let this be another loud message to those who would abuse their positions to send ton-quantities of cocaine to the United States: our reach is global, our memory is long, and we will not allow you to continue to flood our country with cocaine without punishment. I commend the work of the career prosecutors of this Office, who have investigated and prosecuted these cases alongside the Special Operations Division for years and will continue to do so for as long as remains necessary.”
