Eight people implicated in an alleged international network accused of smuggling 310 kilos of cocaine are being brought to justice. The District Attorney for the National District requested the opening of a trial for Miguel Angel Espinal Herrera, Felix Evangelista Sanchez Crispin, Roberto Antonio Mendoza Manzano, Juan Hilario Navarro Nunez, Freddy Antonio Martinez, Roy Francisco Sanchez Sonoras or Roy Francisco Sanchez Zamora, Roberto Antonio Ortiz and Sueheily Rodriguez. Deputy District Attorneys Francis Soto, Isidro Vasquez Pena and Gedeon Platon Bautista asked the coordinating judge of the Courts of Instruction, Rosalba Garib Holguin, to assign a court that sets a date and listens to the request for a trial of the accused. In the accusation, the prosecutors are asking for the admission of the proof against the accused and to emit an order to begin the trial.
They suggest that the accused are members of a powerful international drug trafficking network and that the rules for a complex case should be applied. The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) Tactical Sensitive Investigations Division and the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) have taken part in the case investigations. Likewise, as a result of this investigation, with international cooperation, specifically in Puerto Rico, seven people were arrested on suspicion of belonging to the international gang.
The authorities are also trying to locate Puerto Rican Oscar Torres (Caniton) who is a fugitive. Of the eight people involved in the process, five are free on bail. Espinal Herrera, Sanchez Crispin, Martinez and Mendoza Manzano, who were in prison at the La Victoria jail, were freed on bail by the interim judge of the Second Court of Instruction of the National District, Awilda Reyes Beltre. Rodriguez, the only woman involved in the case, is also free on bail.
The Second Courtroom of the Penal Chamber of the Court of Appeals of the National District set 21 December as the date for the hearing on an appeal against the release on bail of four of the eight accused by the District Attorney in the consignment of 310 kilos of cocaine. The date was set after an order from the president of the tribunal, Ramon Horacio Gonzalez Perez, was issued after receiving the file.
