Come to Los Platanitos (Ensanche Caonabo) barrio in Santiago near the Cibao Stadium and closer to the Children's hospital and you will witness that the drug supply is still strong as the Pichardo brothers gang micro traffic drugs even on school routes as leaders Choppo has bought the local authorities including Santiago police and DNCD Notre. Several gun crimes have been committed by Choppo including shooting a teenage boy in the stomach whereas the shooter is comfortable at home eatting platinos from home not worried about police, justice nor jail. All criminals are well known and have long rap sheets from past years but paid their way out of jail.
For real!!
