Two members of the armed forces attached to the Specialized Corps of Airport Security (CESA) K-9 Unit have been arrested at Las Americas International Airport (AILA) with 27 packages of cocaine that they were trying to put on a flight to Europe. According to investigators, Corporal Victor Alvarez Almonte and Private Santiago Torres Calzado were taken to the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) headquarters. The dispatch of the drugs for Madrid, Spain was stopped by intelligence agents from the Armed Forces working in coordination with members of the Customs Department that track members of the CESA and the DNCD on the tarmac at the airport. The involvement of members of the DNCD and the CESA in similar incidents has led to the use of plainclothes intelligence agents from the Armed Services at AILA. After they were discovered, the CESA troops tried to use their assault rifles to flee, but they were stopped by members of the Armed Forces intelligence unit who were on duty at the airport where the struggle occurred. According to the details that are still emerging, more military personnel could be involved in a network of drug traffickers that uses airport workers to send drugs to the United States and Europe.
