Presidential advisor on drugs and president of the Ethics Committee, lawyer Marino Vinicio Castillo says that it is up to the Ministry of Armed Forces to take action against their own members if they are found to be at fault. Castillo was responding to the accusation by Peravia Senator Wilton Guerrero, who claimed earlier this week that military personnel assigned to the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) were just transferred back to their military branches even though they lied about their assets in their financial statement submissions.
Guerrero called for the publication of the names of the colonels and other officers and non-commissioned officers who were removed from the DNCD ranks for "serious breaches of conduct", including lying about their assets.
He complained that the officers were returned to the branches of service that had loaned them to the DNCD in the first place. The senator said that if these people were not fit to serve in the fight against drugs, they should not be worthy of serving in any of the armed forces.
Guerrero said that although this group had been transferred from the DNCD, Major General Rolando Rosado Mateo was still, "surrounded by rats, snakes and toads tied to drug trafficking and who should be cut out of the service," as reported in Hoy.
