Still an increase in crime in the interior

Minister Kenneth Amoksi of Justice and Police (JusPol) announced during a press moment prior to the weekly Council of Ministers (RvM) meeting that crime is on the rise in the country, including in the interior. The Granman of the Aloekoe people, Glunder Simeon, has expressed concern about the increasing crime in his area, particularly regarding criminal activities carried out by Brazilians.
To address the situation, a mission consisting of police officers and military personnel was sent to the interior, where they operated for three days. Unfortunately, this effort has not yet resulted in any arrests, highlighting the urgency and complexity of the situation.
The police received information about the presence of Brazilians active in the area, prompting the recent mission. The ministry aims to take preventive measures to reduce crime. Therefore, more missions to the interior will be carried out in the near future, each lasting several days.
Minister Amoksi has repeatedly emphasized over the past months that a lack of financial resources hinders the work of the police force. This shortage makes it difficult to effectively combat crime and ensure the country’s safety.
In cooperation with national security advisors from the Office of the President and the Public Prosecutor’s Office (OM), Brazilian criminals have been identified in the country. Minister Amoksi confirmed that information has been exchanged with Brazilian authorities to track down these criminals. He is optimistic about the outcomes of this collaboration in the fight against crime and stresses that good cooperation with neighboring countries can contribute to a further reduction in regional crime.
According to the Minister of Justice, between seven and nine serious criminals have been deported. These joint efforts are essential to improve safety in the country and to effectively combat crime.
