The Fuerza Pública starts at 8 p.m. tonight to seal bars and other places where alcohol is sold. This is the annual effort to prevent alcohol sales on Holy Thursday and Good Friday of Semana Santa.
The police agency is fielding 2,508 officers to work with officials in the country’s 81 municipalities. Anyone who breaks the seals on doors or places where alcohol is stored can face a three-month to two-year jail term.
The Fuerza Pública said the law will be enforced vigorously.
