Zoeller, Other AGs Visit Cuba For Bilateral Exchange On Criminal Justice

State AGs Hope To Discuss Trafficking, Interact With Cuban Legal Community

INDIANAPOLIS – As part of an ongoing multistate effort to combat human trafficking and drug trafficking, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and several other of his state AG colleagues are traveling to Cuba this week to meet with their Cuban counterparts and interact with members of the Cuban legal community.

The cost of the three-day visit to Havana, Cuba, is being handled by the Alliance Partnership, and is not paid for with Indiana tax dollars.

“We are excited to be building this bridge to the Cuban legal community as our countries are normalizing relations. Despite the differences in our legal systems, we both face serious common problems like human and drug trafficking and other transnational crime. This face-to-face meeting is the first step in creating a robust bilateral relationship that will promote the rule of law and allow cross-border collaboration on issues of mutual importance,” Zoeller said.

The meetings in Havana, officially known as the Alliance Partnership Binational AG Exchange, are a follow-up to previous meetings that the Conference of Western Attorneys General (CWAG) has organized between state AGs from the U.S. and their counterparts in Mexico and other Latin American nations.

In September 2010, Zoeller’s office hosted a CWAG Alliance Partnership training event in Indianapolis, attended by 70 prosecutors and investigators from Mexico that focused on Mexico’s rule of law.

In October 2015, Zoeller and a group of other state AGs from the U.S. attended a two-day CWAG Alliance Partnership conference in Mexico City and met with that nation’s criminal justice officials to discuss the problems of human trafficking, drug trafficking and Internet privacy.

During the upcoming conference in Havana, Zoeller and other AGs are scheduled to meet with Cuba’s attorney general, Dario Delgado Cura, where they hope to discuss issues of common concern involving the international illegal smuggling of people and drugs. The AGs are scheduled to visit the University of Havana Law School and meet with a non-governmental organization that provides continuing legal education, the National Union of Cuban Lawyers. They plan to meet with the National Organization of Law Offices, the government entity for which all Cuban trial lawyers work; and they will tour government buildings and historic landmarks. The state AGs departed through Miami on Sunday and are scheduled to return to the U.S. on Wednesday.

Zoeller has been involved for several years in multistate and binational efforts with other state AGs to combat human trafficking and urge Congress to secure the nation’s borders and enact and enforce U.S. immigration laws.  Zoeller said he hopes to continue to raise awareness of the law enforcement issues of trafficking and illegal immigration, and also encourage the advancement of the rule of law and legal education in other Latin American countries who interact with the U.S. and Indiana.

Reminder: AG Zoeller, Colts #kickRxabuse video challenge entries due Oct. 1

Winner will meet Adam Vinatieri, get VIP Colts tickets & have video broadcast on Colts media

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller and the Indianapolis Colts remind middle and high school students to enter the #kickRxabuse video challenge to help combat teen prescription drug abuse.

To enter the contest, Indiana students from grades 6 through 12 must create and upload a 30-second YouTube video that highlights the dangers of abusing prescription medications using the hashtag #kickRxabuse. Entries are due by October 1.

The #kickRxabuse video challenge is being led by Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri who urges students to join the fight against prescription drug abuse in his own 30-second YouTube video.

Recently, the Colts posted an article from Justin Phillips, founder of Overdose Lifeline and mother to former Lawrence North High School quarterback Aaron Sims. Aaron passed away from a heroin overdose in 2013, the result of the addiction he developed that began with a football injury and a doctor’s prescription for pain pills.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, one in five 12th grade students has abused prescription drugs in their lifetime.

“The prescription drug abuse epidemic in our state is filtering down to our kids, and the result is often a lifetime of bad choices, continued drug use and deadly addiction,” said Zoeller, co-chair of the Indiana Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force. “Just because they are prescribed by a doctor and can be found in the home medicine cabinet does not mean these drugs are safe. I’m challenging parents, teachers and student leaders to have these conversations and help combat abuse before it starts.”

Students must submit their videos to the #kickRxabuse challenge by Oct. 1, and the winning video will be selected based on impact, creativity and number of YouTube views. The winning video will be featured on the Attorney General’s website www.BitterPill.IN.gov as well as on the official Colts website, social media and Colts programming.

The student who creates the winning video will get to tour the Colt’s complex and meet Adam Vinatieri. They will also get four VIP Colts game tickets, free dinner at the Colts Grille and a limo ride to and from dinner. The student’s winning school will receive a $5,000 cash prize donated by the Indianapolis Colts.
