Santo Domingo. - Peravia province (south) senator Wilton Guerrero today said Azua has become a narco-province and warned the Police that its precinct serves drug traffickers, who know every single drug operation and movement.

He said Police chief Rafael Guzmán is being deceived by the more than 20 agents who rip off drugs because they are the heads of all the rings in that province and have placed him in a situation of saying lies in some of the recent cases.

He cited the case in Azua on July 30 with the death of three people, including a Police sergeant, a massacre he said Police lieutenant Alberto Arturo López Segura, post commander at La Bombita, is one of the main masterminds.

He said a confidant told him Lopez had closed the deal with narcotics traffickers in Santo Domingo just minutes before the shooting. “This Mr. Segura, according to the information, received two million pesos at the hands of drug traffickers in a place in Azua and offered to hand over the drug in a previously agreed point on the Azua-Peralta highway. At that point those from Santo Domingo came in their own vehicle, a gray Honda Civic, and those of the Police in a red Toyota Camry property of lieutenant López Segura.”

He reiterated his warning to the Police chief that he’s being deceived and asked him to order a wide investigation into the case.
