A strong contingent from the National Police was on hand yesterday morning to arrest accused drug trafficker Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo's nephew as he left Najayo Prison under a release order from a San Cristobal Court of Instruction judge. Raffy Castillo, 30, was violently bundled into an SUV by police agents in the prison parking lot. Castillo was in preventive custody accused of the death of a Spanish businessman killed in mid-2008. Because of this case, the Supreme Court (SC) ordered an investigation into magistrate Regina Carvajal Viscaino who had ordered Raffy Castillo's release from custody. The police arrived early in the morning, led by Colonel Genaro Suero Jimenez and officers from the Santo Domingo investigative departments, and took up spots along the front of the prison to wait for Castillo to be released. The troops were accompanied by Appeals Court prosecutor for the jurisdiction, Jesus Fernandez Velez and District Attorney Faustino Culinario. Police officials did not explain in detail their motive for arresting Castillo, whose mother fainted and had to be helped by lawyers and relatives who were on the scene. According to reports, the accused was transferred to the Palace of Justice in Ciudad Nueva in the National District to answer to charges for other acts he allegedly committed. His lawyers, Joaquin Belisario and Ruddy Polanco, complained that their client had been kidnapped by the police, since they presented no documents in support of his re-arrest.
