Senator Wilton Guerrero of Peravia denounced that in the southwestern province there are more than 20 officers of the Armed Forces and the Police involved in drug operations. He said this became apparent when on 30 July, three police agents tried to ripoff drug dealers from Santo Domingo. In the clash, two alleged dealers and a police seargent were shot dead and another agent was injured.
"The reality is that the police acted as if they were a criminal gang without scruples, murdering those that had fallen," Guerrero told the press. He said that the intellectual author of the masacre and blamed First Lieutenant Alberto Arturo Lopez Segura, chief of the police station in La Bombita, Azua, as reported in El Caribe. He demanded an investigation from Police Chief Guzman Fermin and State Prosecutor Radhames Jimenez.
Azua prosecutor Rafael Brito Pena speculated on the complacency of the Azua authorities with crime. "I have always said that the fact that Azua, with only 200,000 inhabitants, crime has not come under control, is because there is complicity or people looking the other way," he said quoted in El Caribe.
Townspeople interviewed by El Caribe say that the drug traffickers act freely.
Brito Pena, nevertheless, in statements carried in Hoy, challenged comments made by Peravia Senator Wilton Guerrero that Azua is a "narco-province." He says that Azua residents are hard working and honest people.
