Three of the airplanes seized from drug-related persons were dismantled and the parts sold, according to sources at Depreco, the Department for the Prevention of Corruption. The former head of the Air Force, retired General Virgilio Sierra PErez is under investigation. Two generators from the planes and three jet turbines were also sold. According to the Diario Libre, a total of four turbines were sent to Miami under the pretext of being repaired. Reportedly, one of the turbines was sold to Colombia for US$75,000. As Depreco builds its case, questions remain as to the whereabouts of parts supposedly sent to the Dominican Air Force, and other parts from Air Force places that are supposed to be in a museum in New York.
