Bishop Francisco Jose Arnaiz says it is strange how no one investigates military personnel or police officers who have become inexplicably wealthy. He used one example to press his point, describing a seven-floor apartment building belonging to a Police sergeant. He estimates that the building cost RD$70 million. He gave the address at Avenida Sarasota 143, next door to a private clinic. He lives at Av. Sarasota 145. He said that several businesses operate in the building.
As reported in Hoy, he said that for there to be justice in the DR it has to come from the people themselves, and that people have to change. "What are you going to do? Fill the jails with judges?" he asked. He criticized the ease with which people with drug trade connections were able to evade justice. He called for changes to the Penal Procedures Code to make it more effective in the fight against drug trafficking and crime, reiterating that there were many military and police officials who have fortunes they could not justify.
