Santo Domingo.-National District prosecutor Alejandro Moscoso said Wednesday afternoon that the owners of the 1,200 kilos of cocaine seized last week in the port of Valencia, Arturo del Tiempo and Núñez Cebria, are now being held in a Barcelona jail.
He said del Tiempo is “an investor” in the 12 floor condo Torre Atiemar and that both Spaniards are accused of money laundering and drug trafficking
Moscoso said they have other investment in the country, but didn’t specify
FILE.- The Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) seized a Hummer and a Porsche SUV in the exclusive Torre Atiemar, which is at the center of an international drug trafficking and money laundering investigation and where Police chief Rafael Guzmán reportedly owns one of the condos.
Atiemar residents say aside from the Chief of Police, some apartments are owned by other government officials, but refused to identify them.
They also affirm that a Police colonel is in charge of the building’s security and that on Friday afternoon DNCD agents arrived and searched it.
In the search an engineer in charge of the construction and two drivers were detained but later released, and residents say as many as six antinarcotics agents are guarding the building.
Atiemar’s owner has been identified as the Spaniard Arturo del Tiempo, now being held is in his country in connection with the confiscation of 1,200 kilos of pure cocaine allegedly shipped from Dominican Republic.

Manaury Mejia is the young 24-year old that dove into the sea to help victims of the 26-passenger bus accident that killed 11 persons on 12 February 2010 when the driver suffered a heart attack and the bus fell into the sea. He said he was an eyewitness of the accident. He said there were many people at the accident site, but none dared dive in to help rescue the victims. "I had mixed feelings", he says. "Once I jumped in I wanted to go back." He said he almost drowned but was able to save three persons. "The three are alive. I was an angel sent from God", he said. He told the story of how his motorcycle was stolen while he was rescuing victims, but he got a new motorcycle when his story was told on Z-101 radio talk show. He says he dreams of being a singer, and hopes to launch himself with the boost of the recognition he has received after his effort,

This Narco-Tower and Figueroa Agosto are getting closer and closer to LIE-onel Fernandez!
Torre Atiemar linked to drug trafficking
The online news portal 7dias.com.do reports that the police chief owned an apartment in the 21-floor Torre Atiemar on Av. Pedro Henriquez Urena, La Esperilla neighborhood, now linked to a Spanish drug trafficker and money launderer. The portal also reveals that financing for the luxury high rise came from the Dominican government commercial bank, Banco de Reservas.
The government bank Banco de Reservas was responsible for 100% of financing of the Torre Atiemar, now said to belong to Spanish drug trafficker Arturo del Tiempo Marques. The bank accepted deposits in Switzerland as a guarantee for the loan.

The news portal reports that private banks had rejected to finance the tower, after a background search showed ties of the Spaniard to Mario Conde, in jail for bank fraud in Spain.
7dias.com.do reports that Arturo del Tiempo Marques is in jail in Barcelona, while his son, Arturo del Tiempo Manzarbeitia, who is vice president of the Dominican construction company, is under arrest in Madrid. He was arrested as a suspect in the shipment of 1,200 kilos of cocaine that arrived from the DR to Spain. The freight container had the drugs hidden under marble that supposedly was a remnant of the construction of Atiemar Tower.

Torre Atiemar company vice president Tiempo Manzarbeitia and his sister Isabel left the country shortly after the shipment. Isabel was in charge of local relations, such as those with the Banco de Reservas, as reported in 7dias.com.do
In Santo Domingo, Tiempo Manzarbeitia lived in a tower at Av Bolivar facing the Conservatory Music, in the same building where the authorities had ssearched for fugitive drug baron Jose Figueroa Agosto and where they arrested a lawyer that subsequently was released.
The online portal says that most of those who purchased at the Torre Atiemar received financing from the Banco de Reservas through their real estate division. The building is 98% finished. Reportedly, Del Tiempo Marquez has 5 apartments, his son Arturo owns two and his daughter Isabel, one. It mentions that the other apartments were sold to known persons, including one of these to the chief of the Police.
Hoy newspaper reports that the authorities have been mute on the case.
