The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) says that in the next few days it will reveal what it describes as "important cases of drug trafficking and money laundering involving politicians, armed forces members and civilians, and are probably greater than the case of former military official Quirino Paulino", who is standing trial on drug trafficking charges in a New York City court.
DNCD president Radhames Ramirez Ferreira told reporters that details would emerge in one or two week's time. Without giving too many details, Ramirez said that everything is in place and the situation is ready in order to bring this "big fish" to justice. Analysts speculate as to why Ramirez decided to prematurely inform the public of the DNCD investigations.
As reported in Listin Diario, Mayor General Ramirez Ferreira said that the absence of strict court sentences for drug traffickers and the indifference in many cases pending in the courts, leads to the understanding that fear and weakness are obstacles to the application of true justice in narcotics cases.
The announcement was made prior to the incineration of two tons of cocaine, 23 kilos of heroin, 101 kilos of marijuana and 10 kilos of opium by the DNCD at the Army First Brigade HQ on the Duarte Highway yesterday.
