Santo Domingo.– The Dominican National Drug Control Agency, DNCD, burned approximately $10 millions dollars in pure cocaine, marihuana, heroine and various other illegal substances and paraphenalia seized from people within the island, some caught as they tried to transport the drugs to points outside the Dominican Republic.

According to Rafael Radhames Ramirez Ferreira, Mayor General of the DNCD, with more resources many more drugs could be off the street.

Normally, the drugs that enter the country are brought by boat from Colombia or land from Haiti and “are for exportation.”

Drugs that had tested negative for cocaine but which dealers attempted to sell in the southern region of the country, like the provinces of Azua and Bani, were also destroyed.

JohnUSA, where are you from really? judging by the name I assume you live in US and maybe even have US citizenship, but where were you born? what are you doing reading articles in this site? Something tells me you're just one of those Dominicans trying so hard to hide their roots as if they were ashame of it... what do you have against our island? do you think the US doesn't have drug issues?

Yes, they do burn drugs. But most of the drugs have been replaced with other ingredients that will burn the same with the same illusion of burning all the drugs... The truth is that RD Gov officials have been skimming drugs and recycling them back into the pipeline. In fact, the majority is recycled (not burned and destroyed). So, it is not just a few dubbies but this is high profit NO COST black market business. Whereby officials have businesses with the same criminals they are supposed to go after. Maybe one day the US will catch on to what is really going on. We see low level officials with high priced jeepetas, land, businesses and shady relationships with known criminals that speak in passing but not too much in public. The US has drug problems but clearly the RD Gov is not a true partner and actually is a big liability in the drug war but the RD Gov does a good acting job (while their hands are getting a lion's share of drug profits) while giving lip service to US officia
