Customs director Miguel Cocco has passed away. Cocco was hospitalized at the CEDIMAT medical center in Santo Domingo, after being admitted for emergency surgery on a hematoma in one of his kidneys a couple of weeks ago. His condition was upgraded to stable in recent days, after having been in intensive care. Cocco suffered from kidney problems for several years and had been on dialysis.
Cocco was highly respected for his professional approach in reorganizing the Customs Department and for being a vocal opponent of corruption in government. In one of his last initiatives, he campaigned for a ban on used clothes imports from Haiti.
He was one of the few honest guys in Government here. R.I.P.
