Family members of Angel Felipe Franquis de los Santos are accusing officials at the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) of killing their relative and trying to cover it up by claiming that he committed suicide. Franquis was arrested last Friday with 98 kilos of cocaine on the Duarte Highway. He was accompanied by three other people.
Family members argue that Franquis had called his girlfriend only a few hours before his death, saying he was hungry and wanted water, and that a person on the verge of suicide would not do that.
The family says he was killed later and his jeans tied around his neck, before arriving at the National Pathology Institute, in order to simulate a suicide.
DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron has set up a commission to investigate Franquis' death.
