The director of Colombia's National Police has called the recent arrests of 25 policemen for drug trafficking and false entry charges "painful" and "a little embarrasing." General Oscar Naranjo said in an interview with Radio Caracol on Thursday, "Days like yesterday are painful for this institution, and for me a little embarrassing."
