Peru: New Organized Crime Law Vital

00:01, February 28, 2013

Peru needs new laws to tackle organized crime,Peruvian Cabinet Chief Juan Jimenez said in a report by state news agency Andina. 

The threat from organized crime necessitates legislation that allow law enforcement to tackle criminals "differently than minor assaults," Jimenez said, suggesting thatPeru  adopt a legal framework similar  to Mexico and Colombia. Jimenez said that the new legislation should provide for development of communications tracking and undercover operatives.

"Widespread" corruption within the Peruvian security apparatus and judicial system exacerbates the growing problem of crime, both organized and small-time, the Peruvian Times added.
