Peravia Senator Wilton Guerrero is again making headlines with his latest warning that those in charge of fighting drug trafficking in his province are themselves involved in the business. He said it is evident that the machinery to sell drugs in the country is "intact," as reported in Hoy.
He reiterated his complaint that employees at the National Drug Control Department in Bani have links with drug trafficking in the area and called for their transfer. He also called for an investigation into the obstacles that assistant prosecutor Rosa Julia Batista has encountered when trying to do her work prosecuting traffickers in Peravia.
He said the DNCD commits irregularities when it does not present the evidence it has found or presents the cases when they are about to expire. He added that the chief prosecutor in the province, Robert Lugo has not supported Batista, and instead told her "do not confront those people."
Following the massacre of seven suspected drug-traffickers foreign drug traffickers on 4 August in Paya, Bani, Guerrero denounced complicity between drug traffickers and the provincial chief of police, drug control officers, the provincial governor and prosecutors. He also denounced General Prosecutor Radhames Jimenez's laissez-faire attitude. In that case, neither the 1,200 kilos of cocaine nor a considerable amount of money that was at the house where the massacre took place have been recovered by the authorities.
