In the group there are two Ecuadorians, one of them a woman whom Police
spokesman Nelson Rosario said is a pilot whose name was not provided, a French
Guayana national and 17 Dominicans, four resident of Paya, Baní, where the
killings took place and the others are from San Francisco de Macorís, the

road in the place known as La Solitaria.

currencies, two SUVs, a pickup truck, a car, 26 cellulas, and 14 passports;
five of them Venezuelan, two European, two American, two Dutch and one Italian.
According to Rosario,
the Ecuadorian is a recognized organizer of illegal trips and had been sought
by international agencies for that same crime.
Their planned route had been Santo Domingo- Santiago, to Dajabón; Haiti
–Cape Haitien
on land, where members of the organization would receive them and then by air
to French Guayana, where they would board a plane to fly them to the United States.
The Police said the arrests resulted from several days of surveillance.
For the execution of the seven Colombians 13 people have been charged, nine
of them are in prison and four released on 1.5 million peso bond.

Hey : Eradicatecorruption, in reading your comments I noticed you are from Lawrence, MA and my son is interested in looking at various nice small colleges there. I have a teenage American son who will be ready to attend college soon and I may want to travel there from the Midwest next summer. Please write me to let me know about your town and if there is a good Dominican community there and events.

Is it just a coincidence that these guys were heading for the hills just a day or so after Senator Guerrero had his one on one meeting with LF? There must be some incentives on the table to lay this matter to rest. Either way many thanks to the Senator for keeping up the pressure to get to the truth. It still remains to be seen who got the drugs and money that night and at this point in time the drugs have been converted to cash so we may never know the answer to that question. I agree with the "follow the money" suggestion!!

all 21 members of a criminal gang, involved in a major, well publicised incident, leaving together, and headed for a single destination, simultaneously. either the press is pulling a fast one, or these are the dumbest people on the face of the earth. then again, why are so many people involved? don't these guys realise that if there are too many actors, there is too much chance of somebody flapping their traps and blowing things up?

The real crime regarding the Bani incident has yet to be committed. That will happen when most of all that have been arrested walk free due to well paid for legal loopholes in the DR just-us system.

@ Texasshoe:
first you state there were 14 Venezuelan passports:
"Wow, 14 Venezuelan passports, wonder how uncle Hugo got those to them."
Now you write:
"14 passports; five of them Venezuelan, two European, two American, two Dutch and one Italian."
Dont the 2-Dutch and one Italian count as european as well making the European total 5.
So where are the 14 Venezuelan passports you were referring to? Uncle Hugo got to the editors of DT and had it changed? belial hacked the DT server and removed the evidence? Haitian Vu-Du?
I find your comments normally quite balanced, but (as for many posters around here) some words (like Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, Palin, etc etc) triggers a Pavlovian reaction with them and they start salivating...
ps. just fyi, a "European" passport does not exist as such (yet), your total count of 5 is right though, the other 2 European passports just were not identified by their country of issue.

Nemo,
There is a small 3 word post very close to the one where you pointed out my error. It says'
"Nemo, My bad.
Now you write:
"14 passports; five of them Venezuelan, two European, two American, two Dutch and one Italian."- <This is a quote from the story>
There actually is a EU design passport where all member countries use the same design and color but individual country names are embossed under the seal of the EU. They have not yet acheived a single EU passport without country affiliation-yet

If there were 21 of them and only 14 passports how were they all going to travel or I guess some would stay to finish selling the missing cocaine.

Hey...Nemo69
"...14 passports; five of them Venezuelan, two European, two American, two Dutch and one Italian."
This reads like the beginning of a very good Guy Ritchie movie......in the making. Only in DR you would fine this combination of characters working on the same plot.
