Presidential advisor on narcotics, lawyer Marino Vincho Castillo says that between 250,000 and 300,000 young people under the age of 25 are involved in the DR's illegal drug trade. Castillo said that the estimate is horrible and worrisome. Speaking in Santiago, Castillo admitted that support for fighting drugs in the country has been inadequate. He called for a new policy that combines penalties, jail time and special jurisdiction that would allow for improved prosecution of drug traffickers.
Castillo also accepts that fighting drugs is costly, but says that not enough attention has been paid to the problem. He also called for increased drug prevention programs and more help for existing drug users.
