Noriega suspected of drugs trafficking for 16 years
The Miami Herald reports U S authorities long suspected Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega of trafficking drugs, with concern voiced as early as 1972. A 1985 Defense Department memo cited Noriega’s regime in illegal activities, and the CIA and Pentagon debated the allegations through 1986 before an indictment. Several officials note lack of hard evidence but ongoing U S interest and possible political usefulness influenced coverage.
