In a joint operation, drug agencies from the US, Mexico and Central America, working closely with Dominican agencies have arrested four key traffickers, Mexican Luis Fernando Bertulucci Castillo (Capitan, Rey), Lebanese Marwan Chebli Chebli (El Turco or Samir), and Dominicans Jose Antonio Contreras Reyes (Pepe, Tony), Leonel Gomez Guzman (Leo) and Miguel Antonio Rosa Urena (Gato) accusing them of an airlift operation to take cocaine to Central America, Mexico, US, DR and Haiti. The four men were arrested in Santo Domingo and Santiago, as reported in Listin Diario. The drugs were transported to the DR from South America (Colombia and Venezuela) to be sent on to distribution centers in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and the US, sources told Listin Diario.

In dismantling the drug trafficking and money laundering organization, the Dominican National Drug Control Department worked closely with the US Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigations and US Marshalls, as well as with drug agencies in Canada, Colombia and Venezuela, said Roberto Lebron, spokesman for the DNCD, as reported in El Dia.

A case against them will be heard in Massachusetts.
