Hoy reports that slain drug trafficker, Jaime Alonso Calle Munoz, was out on RD$10 million bail when he was shot last Saturday in the parking lot of the Bakkus liquor store. Calle had gotten out on 11 May but had been in jail after being caught with 442 kilos of pure cocaine. National Drug Control Department president Rafael Ramirez said that he has no idea how an international drug trafficker like Calle would be allowed out on bail. Diario Libre reports that the bail against Calle was gradually reduced as it made its way through the Dominican court system. The bail started at RD$50 million in cash, and then the Penal Chamber of the Court of Appeals reduced it to a bail contract of RD$10 million. As reported in Hoy, Calle paid RD$360,000 of the bail set by Judge Natividad de los Santos. Calle was murdered barely 48 hours after leaving jail.
