Guzman's announcement comes only days after 27 members of the National Police, in Puerto Plata, and Colonel Frank Feliz Almonte Castillo, director of the North Region's Department for Criminal Investigations, were arrested for their suspect participation in the drug network. Guzman reiterated his willingness to prosecute all those members of the National Police involved in drug trafficking in line with instructions from President Leonel Fernandez that organized crime not be allowed in the DR. According to Interior and Police Minster Franklin Almeyda, the investigation had been going on for more than a year.
