Santo Domingo. - The National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) yesterday affirmed that a group of officers discharged from their institutions, four colonels, two majors and four lieutenants among them, sought to form a ring of narcotics traffickers to replace the Puerto Rican kingpin Jose Figueroa Agosto’s network.
DNCD spokesman Ramon A. Rodriguez said the officers were part of a group of 28 military, police and agents assigned to Las Americas International Airport (AILA), where they helped ship cocaine and heroin to Puerto Rico.
The colonels Efrén Valera Sosa had been dishonorably discharged; Gustavo Amable Feliz and Juan Alberto Smith were forced to retire, while Adalberto Castillo Perez had been sanctioned with 10 days under arrest.
The discharged majors and lieutenants who Rodriguez said would’ve replaced Figueroa’s network are Alex Sanchez Familia and Franklin Fulcar Perez, as well as the lieutenants Danilo Ginebra Simone, Carmelo Laureano Contreras, Biolenny Lopez Perez and Wilson A. Lopez, while others of the rank were transferred from the DNCD and the Airport Security Corp (CESA), back to their units.
They were linked to the 145 kilos of cocaine seized December 2 in the AILA, in a plane of the company Air Cargo Carriers, minutes before taking off to Puerto Rico.
The U.S. pilots Kevin Henson Kranz and Chistopher Schmidt were detained in the case.

Someone should just _______ the president.
It seems to me that the DNCD was a very good training ground for potential drug dealers as there were mass dismissals in Samana, Santiago and now the Airport as well as dismissals elsewhere of corrupt officers .
With the drug force and the police having so many corrupt officers , exactly who can the general public trust .
" four colonels, two majors and four lieutenants "
Now that's integrity.
Can you imagine what the rest of the forces are made of?
Pathetic.
It will never change until people open their eyes.
Dominicans have never gotten over Trujillo, how long does it take to smell the coffee?
There is not even a glimmer of hope that any elected official actually has an interest in the people. As long as the D.R. runs on corruption, it will be corrupt.
Where there is no will of the people, there is no liberty.
How to build a fence in the D.R
Lopez needs a fence around his property. He calls an in-law who's an engineer in the Army. The army guy tells his Colonel who's knows the General that owns the Cement factory. The General tells him to be the contractor, the Colonel says I don't have any cement trucks! Get them from Major so and so at the armory, collect the delivery fee, give him half, and we split the rest. The Colonel says who builds the fence? The General says take 30 soldiers, and the Engineer, get the tools from the armory. Charge Lopez triple the cost / bribes keep 30% give me the rest
The easiest and the most effective way is :
Change the penalty, take a look of the penalties of China, Singapore...etc.
Then, it will help, not even 100% but will help to lower the drug activities dramatically.
