Santo Domingo.- National District Prosecutor Alejandro Moscoso said Wednesday that he has yet to be notified about the 16.2 million dollars worth of assets seized from the ex Navy commander Carlos Rossó, for which he favor an investigation of all the people waned by the U.S., prior to extradition, to determine their links to drug trafficking, and a list of all properties obtained from it.

“Everything remains in the air, when they are extradited,” said the prosecutor and announced that he’ll request a probe in the next few days of any extraditable prior to their handover to U.S authorities, aimed at identifying those assets and their “tentacles” with drug trafficking.

U.S. Puerto Rico District assistant DA Timothy R. Herwood demanded the confiscation of 16.2 million dollars from Rossó and that he be convicted to the maximum sentence.

As an example Moscoso cited the 14 year prison sentence against Eduardo Rodriguez Cordero (Eduardito or El Principe), the second in command of the drug trafficking network headed by former Dominican Army captain Quirino Paulino. He said from the many properties seized money-laundering proceedings will now have to be started against him, to prevent a legal limbo.

Rodriguez agreed with the Office of the Prosecutor to plead guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering in the case of the 1,300 kilos of cocaine intercepted on the Duarte highway in December, 2004.
