SANTO DOMINGO. - The Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) today announced the arrest of an alleged narcotics trafficker linked to the convicts Quirino Paulino and Rolando Florían Feliz, who’s serving a 20-year sentence.
Ernesto Bienvenido Guevara Diaz, (Maconi) is wanted in New York on several charges including conspiracy and cocaine traffic in the Paulino case, said DNCD president Gilberto Delgado, adding that the detainee also headed Florián's logistic and operational structure.
The official said despite that Guevara was one of the men who escorted the truck with 1,387 kilos of cocaine owned by Paulino, he managed to evade arrest in December, 2006.
He said the suspect was arrested for the first time in March 23, 1995, for 953 kilos of cocaine and that same year was arrested for the possession of 552 more kilos of the same drug.
In June 2006 Guevara was arrested on charges connected with Paulino’s 1,387 kilos, but managed his release form jail December that year.
DNCD agents arrested Diaz in the Las Americas Airport International in the company of a man who’d been deported from the United States, whose name wasn’t provided, although newspaper Diario Libre affirms is Frank Reyes Jiménez.

"The official said despite that Guevara was one of the men who escorted the truck with 1,387 kilos of cocaine owned by Paulino, he managed to evade arrest in December, 2006."
The corruption these two statements imply is numning to say the least!
Who kept giving this guy get out of jail free cards?
thanks for the link. The DR is near the bottom out of 134 countries on some of the most important issues affecting this country.
Read between the lines... notice how many times this career criminal was re-arrested with major volumes of raw cocaine but repeatedly released by corrupt DNCD and judges..
Caught Dec 2006 with 1,387 kilo (but not arrested)
Arrested June 2006 with but later released
Arrested twice in 1995 in March with 953 kilos and another occassion with 552 kilos
Does anyone else see a pattern here? This guy is a career criminal but gets out of jail as often as in jail. So, why does not the US DEA see these types of patterns of RD Gov corruption?
It's a DAM SHAME!
Has there really been a war on drugs? Or is the US DEA just wasting our tax dollars because maybe they too are profiting from the drug trade under the table. If they are informed 6 years ago of the Pichardo drug network then why wouldn't US DEA use international anti-narcotics laws to go after and extradite these men in Santiago as well. Too many are out living the good life with money to burn!
So they won't give him to the US until the case is over and the time is served. That's by law.
Mark my words, that guy is not going anywhere.
It is nice to see him arrested but it would be nicer to see him put away for 20 years.
And no late night strolls to the local bar.
If her gets out, again, shame on you.
