Santo Domingo. – Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) president Rolando Rosado yesterday warned the country’s exporters and importers to prevent their containers from being used to take drugs to the United States and other nations, which he said has already occurred several times.

The official affirmed that the members of the exporting sector have the obligation to collaborate in the confiscation of drugs, mainly heroin and cocaine in the country’s marine terminals.

He said traffickers often hide large drug shipments in containers and freight, apparently without the exporters’ knowledge, a situation he asks all involved to help change.

“I ask industrialists to be on the alert and remain watchful so drug traffickers don’t use your facilities to send drugs hidden among merchandise,” Rosado said in the roundtable “Transparency and Governance,” hosted by the Institutionalism and Justice Foundation (Finjus).

When DT eventually posts the story about the reinstatement of Zelaya in Honduras, I hope no one thinks for one second that it had anything to do with the whining of our impotent president. Yesterday he was complaining about the lack of influence exerted by various organizations. Today he will be taking credit.

once you take you items to the exporter, its hard to know if they are mixing in other stuff along with your shipment. At the end who gets blamed? The exported? Or will the exporter try yo point the finger at his client?

Would the shipper or consignee by any chance be a CIA front company?

The Dominican way: guilty government of dereliction of duty passes on responsibility to private sector and businesses for interdiction of drug shipments. Brilliant!
