Columnist Leo Hernandez, writing in El Caribe, says that the recent confiscation of US$4.6 million, 4 SUVs, including one armor-plated SUV, weapons, cell phones and several confidential documents expected to lead to drug dealers, is being regarded as the biggest blow to narco-trafficking in the DR since Captain Quirino Paulino Castillo was arrested in 2004, with the change of government from Hipolito Mejia to Leonel Fernandez.
Hernandez explains that the detection of Cristian Almonte Peguero at a restaurant, who was able to escape, leaving behind a Grand Cherokee SUV in which a laptop with confidential information was found that lead to the vehicle with the cash.
