A dubious honor, but there it is. The DR ranks first amongst all nations as a drugs trans-shipment point, with 11% of all drugs that go to Europe or Latin America passing through the DR. The DR is followed on the list by Argentina and Brazil. The information was revealed in a report from the Office Of Drugs and Crimes in Central America and the Caribbean. The report says that of the 15% of cocaine seized world wide, 97% was found in Central America and 7% was seized in the Caribbean. Of this total, 104 metric tons, 3.85 tons were seized in the DR. Between January and September 2009 2,305.6 kilos have been seized ion the DR, 13.3 kilos of crack, 735.1 kilos of marijuana, 409.2 kilos of amphetamines, 5 kilos of opium, 99.5 kilos of heroin and 1,965 ecstasy pills. Mabel Feliz, president of the DR's National Drug Council (CND), disclosed this information during the 19th meeting of Latin American and Caribbean Anti-Drug Officials (HONLEA) held on Venezuela's Margarita Island.
