DNCD fires 23 in 72 hours

[NewsWhore]

The National Drug Control Department has fired another 13 officials and servicemen accused of committing serious mistakes or guilty of negligence in anti-narcotics operations. This takes the number of DNCD members fired in the last 72 hours up to 23, as reported to Clave Digital by DNCD Director Major General Radhames Ramirez Ferreira, who said that the fired officials were members of the Armed Forces or the Police Department. He specified that not all military personnel who had been withdrawn from the DNCD had made serious mistakes, but some had acted "timidly and hesitantly" towards drug trafficking. Some of the fired officials and servicemen were sent back to the Air Force, the Navy, the Army and the Police, and will serve time under arrest. The group is believed to include colonels, majors and lieutenants, most with over 10 years service.
