Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the conference and workshop "French Law 2009" at the Magistrate's School, Supreme Court chief justice Jorge Subero Isa said contract murders are on the rise in the Dominican Republic. He said that this reality is sending a bad signal. However, he applauded the bravery and dedication of the magistrates, who act with bravery and responsibility in the cases of drug trafficking cases, many linked to contract killings. He mentioned the lack of budget to provide for the security for the judges.
Speaking at the same conference, the Prosecutor for the National District, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, agreed with the chief justice and he said that the killings by hired assassins have come with the increase in drug trafficking. "Drug traffickers, when they drop drugs also drop weapons, and this is part of the pay for killing someone," he explained.
Meanwhile, Subero Isa said that, in one way or another, these contracted murders that never existed in the country before are a matter of major concern.
