Santo Domingo. - The National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) investigates if the 3.0 million counterfeit dollars seized in a country house in village Mata San Juan, near the La Isabela Airport at El Higüero, would be used in drug deals.

DNCD spokesman Roberto Lebrón said enough material was seized in the place to make nearly 10 million bogus dollars and their confiscation in his view prevented bloodshed as they would’ve been used in drug shakedowns.

He said the National Police Antinarcotics Unit and the Forgery Department search for two people, among them the owner of the house, although the DNCD didn’t reveal their names.

Lebron said the agents seized the equipment, paper and the ink used to make the dollars in the house near the airport, for which the authorities suspect it was used store drugs, to be later shipped out of the country via that aerial terminal.

It seems that no too many people care about our country. We're living under fear, worst than when we had tyrants and dictators running the country. When drugs are not connected to a crime or disruption of the peace, our authorities act fast, using all available means to enforce the law. When it is obvious that drug deals are part of the crime, extreme and cautious steps are taken, until it reaches, some place up there, a blockade, where not only the investigation has to stop, but also all evidence and clues related to the case must destroy and disappear. Quisqueyans need to defend the country as brave citizens or there will be no nation for the generations to come; only "Dominicans" living the in the Free Island of Santo Domingo and that's if the owners don't change the name of the island, for then that denomination will also be lost.
