The National Drug Control Department said it is sending 13 people to justice, including a lieutenant colonel and several captains for alleged ties to a drug network that sent cocaine to Canada. The suspects include members of the Specialized Airport Security Corps (CESA). They are accused along with employees of a ramp service company at the Puerto Plata Gregorio Luperon International Airport. The men were said to have helped Richard Francis and Severia Gibney to leave the country. Their luggage was found to be full of cocaine, but the agents let them leave for Toronto. The suitcase, which contained 33 kilograms of cocaine, had been checked in under the name of the couple's underage daughter. The agents were not able to explain to their superiors why they allowed the Canadians to leave on flight 3017 of Thomas Cook Jazz Air Line the evening of 17 March.
The Prosecutor General reported the irregularity to DNCD chief General Rolando Rosado Mateo who ordered an investigation into the case, starting with the arrest of the entire staff at the Puerto Plata Airport. The investigation was led by the director of internal affairs, Colonel Robert Abreu Pena, as reported in El Dia.
