Senator Wilton Guerrero, who has been outspoken about drug trafficking in his Peravia province, again lashed out against corrupt authorities in the southwest. Yesterday, speaking at a press conference from his office in the Senate, Guerrero accused the police staff of San Cristobal of being accomplices to drug trafficking in that province, and requested the transfer of all agents. Recently President Leonel Fernandez removed the entire police staff in nearby Azua province for the same reason.
He said that what is going on in San Cristobal "is something more terrible" than what was happening in Azua with the police commander there. He rejected the police versions regarding recent incidents in Jeringa and Samangola of San Cristobal, where five persons died, including a police sargeant.
"In the cases of the two dead persons in Jeringa, what happened was that the police were compulsively charging a toll for selling drugs, on behalf of sargeant Pablo Acevedo Dipre and corporal Jose Antonio Moa Pena to drug trafficker Wagner Domingo Nunez (El Menor).
In regards to the three civilians who died in Samangola, the senator said that it is not true that it was an attempt to assault a betting parlor, nor that the individuals assaulted a patrol. "This was about a killing by the policemen, because those who died had their arms raised when they were shot in presence of onlookers," he denounced.
Guerrero, as reported in Hoy, says that the San Cristobal force under Colonel Nelson Valenzuela is rotten from top to bottom. He said that the judiciary issues arrest orders for suspect criminals, but these are not arrested by the Police. "The population sees the crimes being done again and again, they see these men sitting down to drinks with the police agents in bars and colmados, and they see the visits the police agents make to charge tolls," said the Senator.
