The National Police have announced the arrest of four policemen who were fired after the confirmation of reports that they demanded bribes from young people who were arrested late at night. If they did not have the money, the police would oblige them to go to ATMs to withdraw the cash. An intelligence operation provided the evidence for incriminating the four policemen. According to the Police, they will also be sent to court.
Diario Libre reported on the practice by corrupt police agents on 23 April. The victims of the extortion were usually young people who had been out for a night of entertainment.
