The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) seized over RD$3.9 million and US$425,480 in cash yesterday, Monday 4 June, during a search carried out in a Santo Domingo East clothing store. The business was supposedly used to launder the cash. During the first search, the DNCD authorities found RD$3,956,190 and US$387,580 all in cash. In another search, they found US$37,848 and RD$59,180.

The authorities, supported by a search warrant, arrested Victoria Maria Reynoso Holguin and are looking for a man named as Ernesto Reyes Valerio. The search and seizure was carried in coordination with the United States Drug Enforcement Agency. Allegedly, the clothing store received the cash in boxes of clothing that were sold at the Tienda Vistar store. During a search of Reynoso Holguin's home, the DNCD found evidence of financial transactions involving very large sums, leading them to conclude "that there is no doubt that these are linked with illegal activities."
