US does not take DR into account when dealing with capos
Bolivar Sanchez says that they never give accounting regarding the cases
SD. The order to free former captain Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo for time served in New York created a strong reaction from the Justice Department.
The Deputy Attorney General said that he felt that the United States do not feel obliged to provide information to the Dominican Republic. "But we have to be accountable to the United States but they are not accountable to anyone."
He based his criteria on the fact that while it is true that Quirino, after having it proved that he introduced more than 30 tons of cocaine into the United States, with all of the damage that this act caused in the United States' society and to the Dominican society, "it is one more demonstration that the fight against drug trafficking carried out by the United States of America is erratic, so as not to say unreliable."
Sanchez says that with those drug traffickers they carry out their negotiations there and "never give accounting to the Dominican authorities, at least to the Justice Department, which is who carry out the persecution." "We never have found out he details of any negotiations that they have carried out with those drug traffickers."
He commented that if it is true that they are ordering the return of the assets, something he will not believe until he sees the sentence, this is a very bad message.
The official said that the representative of the Justice Department risk their lives and the tranquility of their families trying to make the country decent, and are not taken into account at the hour of carrying out a negotiation with these types.
"When I say that we are not taken into account, not even are we told any of the details and neither do we know, for certain, what they do with the information, this is my complaint."
He said that they cannot know for certain that Quirino has been freed until it is confirmed by the American authorities.
He said he understands that negotiation with drug traffickers of the caliber of Figueroa Agosto, Quirino and Toño Leña supposes that they have important information to give them, seeing the concessions that are made to them.
"Or do you believe that it is very simple to assume with responsibility this type of functions and that the results are these. This is a shame and a lack of respect."
