PROBE OF MISSING DRUG FUNDS TARGETS OFFICERS

Colombia

The government is investigating 60 police officers, including top
counter-narcotics commanders, in the disappearance of more than $2 million
in U.S. funds earmarked for the war on drugs, officials said. The list of
police officers under "disciplinary investigation" by the Colombian
inspector-general's office includes Gen. Gustavo Socha, who resigned last
month as chief of the counter-narcotics police; Col. Yadira Angelica
Rivera, in charge of international relations; Col. Carlos Julio Rivera;
chief of police aviation; and Col. Climaco Antonio Torres, chief of drug
interdiction.
