Peravia senator Wilton Guerrero complained that there are still "big fish" with ties to drug trafficking floating in the military and police ranks. He said that drug traffickers enjoyed 10 years of impunity until the arrival of Major General Rolando Rosado Mateo to the DNCD. He said that operations have gone underground after Rosado was given the command of the drug enforcement agency.
As reported in Hoy, Guerrero said that the case of former army captain Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo, who is tried in a New York City court, cannot be traced only to a simple army captain. He said drug trafficking has penetrated the military ranks. He said that the delays in the solving of the subsequent Paya killing of seven drug traffickers is proof there are powerful sectors that are resisting and impeding the solving of the crime.
Senator Guerrero also asked for an explanation why the chief of the southcentral region for the Polcie, General Tomas Holguin de la Paz was placed in retirement. He described him as an exemplary and honest officer, committed with the struggle against crime. He said Holguin had brought peace to the region. He said that while Holguin is retired from the force, there continue to be many active military with commitments to crime.
Guerrero complained that the Puerto Rican drug baron Jose David Figueroa Agosto network is intact, as reported in Hoy.
Following the Paya killing in August 2008, Guerrero became the first to come forth and complain that complicity of government and military authorities had spurred the penetration of drug trafficking.
