The US judiciary is processing at least three cases involving the use of Dominican military installations or equipment by major drug trafficking organizations for criminal activities. Intelligence work by US agencies determined the complicity of local military personnel in drug trafficking operations. As reported in El Dia, the most recent case is recorded in statements by prosecutors of the South District Federal Court of New York made last week, reporting that a large Colombian drug organization was using a Dominican military landing field for transport of drugs. The statement is included in a case being heard in New York against recently convicted Colombian traffickers Hector Fabio Ospino Rosero and John Freddy Norena Correa, members of a network headed by Francisco Uribe Gonzalez (El Patron) who is on the list of 50 biggest drug traffickers in the world and was arrested in December 2009 when he landed at the Las Americas International Airport. Uribe Gonzalez pleaded guilty in early 2010 and was sentenced to 30 years. The others received sentences of 10 years in prison. The South District is the same court that is hearing the case against Colonel Quirino Paulino Castillo.
El Dia reports that the other two cases involve the use of military logistics by drug traffickers and are being heard in courts in Puerto Rico. They involve Navy officers Carlos Rosso Pena and Miguel Antonio Suarez Silfa, who are being tried for drug trafficking. The Federal case established they used Navy boats to transport the drugs and take possession of the shipments in the Caribbean Sea. In 2009, Suarez Silva surrendered to the Puerto Rican authorities and Rosso Pena was arrested when arriving from Colombia using forged identification documents and signed his voluntary extradition.
