Miguel Cocco seems to be the only honest man left standing in an otherwise corrupt government society.

Sure! Charges were filed, but charges will also be dropped. Somebody will get a handsome paycheck and these felons will be - out and about - with the rest of the dysfunctional, malignant politicians who run this country. Fernandez! Your included.

WASTING TIME. The RD authorities should confiscate and take possession of that money right away. Then impose a multi-millionaire bail, very large. Take the money from the bail and put it to gain interest in a Money Market account or something similar. Delay the case or the audience for two or four years in a tangle court. By the time the case end, the government will make millions with the money earned in interest from the bail, even thou it has to return to the accused. The government should be more creative than the criminal. Wasting time trying to prosecute it is not the best solution to this problem.

adrix...they got the money now what...change to pesos 32m and putit in the education fund or to public hospital and deduct from national budget. less taxes to collect. sorry i need another coffee ,i'm obviosley dilusional

I have been saying that Cocco is one of the few honest politicans for two years now....

Unfortunately, the weak judicial system and corrupt law enforcement, DNCD & military will be a road block.

The money should be taken! Interest collected BUT never given back to the criminals who knew the money was earned illegally and smuggling is also illegal thus it is the property of the state to improve the quality of life. Clean up a barrio, provide INFRASTRUCTURE, ,clean drinking water improved education, an internet cafes in ghettos and or a public hospital...

But these funds will likely make some new politicians millionaires as often happens. Because after all, it is the same stuff ...just a different day.

The RD path of corruption leads to global uncompetitiveness (the next new Haiti by 2018)!

BLANCO. You need stronger coffee to wake up from the Dominican reality and the court system. How it works and punishment for drug dealers and sellers. As a numerical example: The number of people that has been caught during the present director of the DNCD, is enough to fill all the Dominican jails. Where are these people? In the streets, in the community selling the same substances. But when a drug dealer has to put 20 or 30 millions pesos in bail and that money is retains for 3 or 4 years until the case go through the corrupt system, we will have resources for many good things, no matter the court decision. It is not your or my fault, it is the system and the general corruption that is inside the society.
