The officers are tied to an international drug trafficking network
SANTO DOMINGO. The National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) delivered to the District Attorney of the National District the evidence that implicates 13 officers and men belonging to the Armed Forces and the National Police in an organization dedicated to the international trafficking of narcotic drugs, and tied to the Puerto Rican Jose Figueroa Agosto.
The judicial consultant of the DNCD, John Garrido, went to the Department of Complaints and Disputes of the District Attorney's office and deposited the portfolio with the request that the men be investigated and arraigned for violation of article 4, letter d, and article 75, paragraph 3, of Law 50-88 on Drugs and Controlled Substances.
The action was directed against Lt. Colonel Alfredo Vargas Herrera (Army), Police Major Victor Enrique Liriano Fernandez, Police Captains Jose Manuel Helena Ramirez and Luis Alfredo Baez Ortiz, Army Sergeant Darwin Ovidio Rodriguez Disla, and Corporals Algenis Buathis Soriano and Samuel Moises Bautista (Navy).
Likewise, the complaint includes Army Majors Roberto Soto Feliz and Juan Ramon Aquino Rodriguez and Air Force Major Aneury Rodriguez Rodriguez, Police Captain Ernesto Jose Peguero Mota, Second Lieutenant Arnulfo Encarnacion Medina (Army), and DNCD agent Samuel Moises Bautista.
The judicial consultant of the drug agency said that the Justice Department is now in charge of the case and will open the penal investigation. "The institution believes that there are indications that compromise their penal responsibility", he said.

The DNCD stated that a commission, appointed on 20 July, recommended the dishonorable discharge and dismissal of Colonel Carlos Ariel Fernandez Concepcion, "because of proof of his direct ties with an international drug trafficking network that recluted and prepared "mules" to carry narcotics from the Dominican Republic to other countries, mainly Europe and the United States".
