Former Army captain Quirino Paulino Castillo, now on trial for drug trafficking in New York, has offered RD$100 million to have his case files, and those of his family, put aside in the Dominican Republic. In a letter sent to the District Attorney for the National District, Jose Manuel Hernandez Peguero, by his lawyer Felix Olivares, Quirino said that he was willing to rescind all rights to RD$100 million in cash and property if the state would drop its charges against him and his family members. The letter goes on to say that all the other people under indictment in Santo Domingo were merely third parties and ignorant of what was going on. Yet another stipulation of the letter goes on to suggest that in accordance with "preliminary discussions" the National District Prosecutor's Office would hold cash and property worth US$7 million subject to the US court's decisions. Listin Diario said that the District Attorney would study the proposal, and refused to answer any questions from reporters.
