The Department for Drug Control (DNCD) reports that a total of 45 "mules" have been arrested for drug trafficking in the last three months. Listin Diario reports that 21 foreigners between the ages of 19 and 22 were caught. The mules used various methods to transport the drugs including transporting them internally or hidden in clothing, in the lining of suitcases or in ceramic pieces. In more legal news, 55 Dominicans will be returning to the DR, 40 of whom were being held in the US on murder charges. The Dominicans had served sentences of between 10 to 18 years and will be taken to the National Police headquarters by bus before being released. Listin Diario reports that the US government deports between 50 and 60 criminals who have finished their sentences each month. The deportation of criminals back to the DR is part of an immigration agreement that was signed in 1910.
