Rear Admiral Ivan Pena Castillo has told the press that drug traffickers have spies inside the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) who provide them with advance warning about possible busts. He said that this makes their work more difficult, as reported in El Caribe. He said that when they are about to carry out a raid in a barrio, the drug traffickers have already been alerted. The DNCD recently reported a cache of 139 kilos of cocaine at Haina East Port that was intended for transport to Puerto Rico. The shipment of 125 packages was inside three bags in the interior of a container with sodium carbonate to be transported on board Caribbean Carrier. Pena said that they are working hard to purge the organization.
The DNCD also announced the arrest of 48-year old Simpson Coli Garfield, a Surinamese citizen, for attempting to smuggle 191 packets of cocaine in his stomach at Las Americas International Airport. This is a record number of packets carried by a "mule". He was taking an Iberia flight and his final destination was Holland.
