Santo Domingo.– The Antinarcotics Agency (DNCD) today announced it dismantled a ring of drug dealers who invested more than US$50 million in real aimed at money laundering.

According to DNCD officials, the network which involves Colombian Germain Miguel Arroyo Salgado, bought extensive holdings in tourism and real estate projects –in the eastern region of the country–, over one hundred apartments, luxury cars and boats.

In addition to Arroyo Salgado, the police also arrested Colombian Gabriel Leon Soriano and Dominican Amanda Conde Sosa.

Agents also told the press the network of drug trafficking also operated in Puerto Rico, Miami, Colombia and Venezuela, using the Dominican territory as a bridge to carry drugs to the United States.

dr made the miami herald on monday aug. 6th page 6a 3/4 page story on the pablo escobar of the caribbean. hes a national obsession in the dr.
jose figueroa agosto.
parts of the story printed on monday.
this puerto rican enjoyed the favor of the government in the dominican republic, which allowed him to carry out his activities with total impunity.
how for 10 years he found refuge in the dr, where he carried out multimillion-dollar drug deals.
they also speak about his videos of him having sex with the wife of a dominican police colonel, and how the the tapes are clandestinely on the streets of the dominican republic.
