Murder plot uncovered

[NewsWhore]

Officials have confirmed they have uncovered a plot to murder Major General Rolando Rosado Mateo, chief of the National Drug Control Department (DNCD). Rumors that Rosado was in danger had been floating around for some time, but drug officials were reluctant to confirm or deny them. Listin Diario reports that the plot to kill Rosado was being planned by a drug ring linked to fugitive drug trafficker Jose Figueroa Agosto. Ramon del Rosario Puente, a.k.a. Tono Lena, has been named as the head of this particular group, and the newspaper reports that the group was based in the eastern region of the DR. Listin Diario also reports that del Rosario and his associates were also linked to a plot to kill certain prisoners at the jail in Higuey.
