Smuggling Jobs Advertised In Guatemala - What Guts!


There is an ad that ran on radio advertisements in Guatemala looking for ex-military personnel or ex-soldiers who would be open to smuggling jobs. That sure is a gutsy move to do that in plain site. I'd be fearful just to apply. That's just scary. What if you get caught doing the job? Well I guess that's why they're looking for ex-soldiers so that they're harder to catch?

The ads were broadcast in the lawless northern jungle region of Peten, home to a tough military training center for Kaibil soldiers, infamous during Guatemala's civil war as a brutal guerilla-fighting, special forces unit according to this Reuters article

"We invite all citizens who have served in the military and graduated as Kaibils to work securing vehicles transporting merchandise to Mexico," the radio spot said, according to a local newspaper. The ad gave a telephone contact number.
