The head of security at the Las Americas International Airport, Air Force Colonel Miguel Jimenez Ventura is under arrest for 20 days at the Specialized Airport Security Corps (CESA). A commission investigated the irregular clearance of luggage belonging to passenger Antonio Peter de la Rosa (Omega) through the airport. A vehicle was allowed to meet Omega, who was granted privileged access and allowed to depart with his suitcases without clearing customs or security. As reported in Listin Diario, retired general Encarnacion de la Rosa, who provides security for Omega, said he had cleared the arrival with the CESA authorities, which assured him there was no problem. As reported in the newspaper, Antonio Peter de la Rosa and his luggage were allowed to leave the airport from the runway itself where the JetBlue flight had arrived in violation to international civil aviation laws that prohibit the access of unauthorized vehicles to restricted areas.
