The National Department of Drug Control (DNCD) now under the leadership of Major General Rolando Rosado Mateo made public that it has separated from the agency Second Lieutentant Buenaventura Polanco Almonte, Sargeant Major William Moreno Baez, and agents Melvin Santiago Figueroa Sanchez, Emilio Joseph Francisco Serrano, John Tomas Diaz Amparo and Jose Luis Ortiz. Rosado said they will be taken to justice.
Polanco Almonte was assigned to the northeast region. He was fired for extortion of RD$25,000 to a drug dealer nicknamed Martin for a stolen computer. The DNCD says that Serrano charged a toll for a drug point in Villa Mella. Diaz Amparo was expelled for changing his statement in court in a case of drugs and weapons. Ortiz Ovalle is charged for a RD$20,000 bribe to free an arrested man.
Rosado Mateo made the statements at the end of a meeting with the president of the National Drug Council, Mabel Feliz. Both agreed to implement joint plans to fight drug trafficking.
During the meeting, Rosado said that in the country 40 micro cartels of drugs operate. He said intelligence operations are in place to counterattack them. He announced the formation of a Microtraffic Intelligence Unit under his new management that will be in charge of updating the movement of the gangs dedicated to microtrafficking.
He argued that the drug trafficking grew in the DR and the Caribbean grew particularly after controls were tightened in Central America and Mexico.
