Inside The Americas - Buenos Aires Municipal Police
- 9 years ago
The Buenos Aires Municipal Police was created in 2008 and began operations in 2010. Launched under the mayoral administration of Mauricio Macri, the neoliberal businessman turned politician who is running in Sunday's presidential run-off elections, the promise was a municipal police force guided by the principles of transparency and respect for human rights. However, the reality has turned out to be quite different, with multiple cases of high-level corruption and police abuse. teleSUR
