“Gold is becoming the preferred method for drug cartels, terrorists, and dictatorships to launder their dirty money, an issue that the U.S. Embassy in Peru has focused on.

Gracias a la Embajada por la información dada y por su arduo trabajo a medida que avanzamos nuestra asociación con el gobierno del Perú.
