Presidential drug advisor, lawyer Marino Vinicio Castillo says that the investigation into the drug-related massacre of seven men in Paya, Peravia needs to continue to the end. He said that despite government efforts to reconcile the differences between Senator Wilton Guerrero (PLD Peravia) and other government officials in the province, the case should not be politicized. Castillo warned the DR has gone from being a stopover point for drugs to being heavily affected by them. He says that there is a local drug epidemic, and the damage to children is "terrifying", as reported in Hoy. "This is not a matter for political gossip; it is a very sensitive matter," said Castillo at the end of a meeting with the Peravia delegation at the Presidential Palace. Castillo reiterated the need to further purge the Armed Forces and the Police. He estimated that around 200-300 of 60,000 or more members of the Armed Forces and Police, or half a percent, are involved in trafficking.
The Dominican Army should consider the example of the Haitian army that was wiped after large number of officers was found to be associated with drug trafficking.
Speaking on Senator Wilton Guerrero's current crusade, Castillo says that his only problem with Guerrero is that he brings more attention to the politicians than to the drug traffickers. "To a certain degree drug traffickers benefit when politicians are arguing instead of concentrating."
