The authorities have arrested Alejandro Almanzar in connection with a drug trafficking case where liquid cocaine hidden in shampoo bottles was to be transported to the US. Details of where and who else was involved in the case have not been released. Officials say Almanzar was the owner of Optimum and Compania Inmobiliaria located on Roberto Pastoriza Avenue in Santo Domingo. Yesterday, it was reported that the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) had confirmed that 108 boxes labeled "shampoo" actually contained liquid cocaine. The shipment was seized at the docks at Haina Oriental, before it could be shipped to the United States.
