The National Drug Control Department has intercepted 411 kilos of cocaine that were about to be shipped to Spain from Haina Port. The cocaine was hidden in a shipment to be made by Tabacalera de Palmarejo, from Villa Gonzalez, Santiago. The drug haul was found hidden in a container that was transporting tobacco leaves, reported DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebron. He said the drugs were uncovered in a joint intelligence operation with international security agencies. Drug-sniffing dogs detected the narcotics that had been hidden in sophisticated double-bottom sections of the freight container.
National Drugs Council president Mabel Feliz Baez says that 90% of crimes in the Dominican Republic are committed by people under the influence of drugs, according to research carried out by that government department. She said that cocaine is the most commonly used drug, followed by marijuana. She was speaking during an event sponsored by the Prosecutor General Office, the United Nations and the Brazilian Government on the new jail model in the Dominican Republic.
