SD. A report released yesterday tells how the drug trafficker Carlos Morales Davila, in jail in Puerto Rico, use the dock of the villa at Number 17 Los Almendros in Casa de Campo, in La Romana, to get cocaine out of the country and on its way to its final destination to the next island (Puerto Rico) or to Florida.
According to information contained in the above mentioned report, the arrest in Puerto Rico of the alleged drug dealer unleashed a scandal in the Dominican Republic caused by the release by an interim judge of four members of the network that was led by Morales Davila and that concentrated on trafficking cocaine.
Likewise, information obtained shows that Morales Davila traveled frequently to the Dominican Republic using the identity of Ricardo Torres. He is considered by the federal authorities of Puerto Rico as the last important drug trafficker arrested and about whom these federal people say had a criminal structure which worked in La Romana.
It can be deduced from the report mentioned, obtained by Diario Libre in the Second Court of Instruction, that Miguel Angel Espinal, Feliz Evangelista Sanchez, Roberto Antonio Mendoza and Eddy Antonio Martinez formed part of this "powerful structure."
These four individuals were arrested by DEA and DNCD agents in the middle of December 2010, and were precisely released by the Magistrate Awilda Ines Reyes Beltre, acting as the interim Judge in the Second Court of Instruction of the National District.
Morales Davila and his four partners are facing charges in a court in the Southern District of Florida for alleged conspiracy to take 310 kilos of cocaine to the United States and if they are found guilty, they could face life sentences according to the alleged evidence presented by the prosecutor of that jurisdiction in the United States.
This case also brought about the arrest of the Puerto Rican Sueneily Rodriguez Arroyo, who tried to flee on the day of the search of the villa in Casa de Campo. He tried to get away in a white Nissan Pathfinder, with the license plate X 055458, which belonged to Morales Davila.
The authorities seized four vehicles, cash in dollars and pesos, several cell phones, jewelry, United States passports and other belongings.
During the operation Juan HIlario Navarro Nuñez was also arrested. When he sighted the operation named "Hurricane," he fled in the red Toyota Land Cruiser, license plate G232739, that belonged to Ricardo Torres (Canito), who, at the request of the latter, picked up the vehicle at the villa located on Caña Block 25 in Casa de Campo.
During the operation the DEA and DNCD officers took down Roy Francisco Sanchez Somora, on Fourth Avenue, almost at the corner of Charles de Gaulle, in the Tres Ojos section, as he was behind the wheel of his vehicle, a white Mercedes-Benz SUV, license plate X 002854. He was in possession of a 9 mm Berza pistol with 13 shots in the clip, a watch Choparo, a gold chain, a ring, the sum of RD$5,229 and other belongings which were confiscated.
From Miguel Angel Espinal Herrera the authorities seized a blue Mitsubishe pickup truck with an official license plate that belonged to the Dominican Firemen's Academy and a gray Hyundai Veracruz with the license plate G 182795.
The authorities were monitoring the network, catalogued as one of the most powerful in the area of the Caribbean and which sent more than 300 kilos of cocaine to the United States and Puerto Rico. According to the reports that were obtained, the group will go on trial shortly, one the prosecutors have readied their case in the Southern District of Florida.
It was learned that federal agents are in the Dominican Republic trying to find new evidence that would be annexed to the file that they have prepared against Carlos Morales Davila, Miguel Angel Espinal Herrera, Feliz Evangelista Sanchez Crispin, Freddy Antonio Martinez and Roberto Antonio Mendoza who are all accused of cocaine trafficking.
