Pepe Goico leaves the country

[NewsWhore]

Ex-military colonel Julio "Pepe" Goico departed from Las Americas International Airport en route to Spain yesterday. Goico displayed a defiant attitude, telling airport staff that he could go "to the ends of the earth without having to ask for anyone's permission." Diario Libre writes that there was some excitement at the airport when staff realized that it was Goico who was leaving and military officers phoned their superiors to find out whether Goico was in fact allowed to leave. To many people's surprise, Goico's exit impediment had been removed. Goico is due back in the DR for a court hearing on 11 July. He is being questioned for his connection with the drug ring headed by ex-military captain Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo.
