Santo Domingo.- A Santo Domingo province court sent the parents, his widow and a sister, of drug trafficker Junior Javier Minaya (Gilbert) to spend three months in jail to await an investigation on drug trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Permanent Attention Court judge Josefina Ubiera on Sunday ruled to jail Gilbert's parents Ilaria Germán, aka Iberia, and Rafael Minaya, his widow Daniela Duran and Giselle Carrasco, wife of the brother and his alleged lieutenant, Joan Rafael "El Topo".
The three women were remanded to Najayo prison and Gilbert father to La Victoria.
The court ruled for the prosecution’s request to jail the defendants, arrested Friday morning during a raid by antinarcotics agents, just one week after Gilbert died during an alleged shootout with a police patrol.

Guilt by association ? There is still a holdover the Napoleonic code here.
No doubt the family has culpability as they could not be living in a vacuum regarding Gilbert's conduct. However, it leaves me uneasy about what the authorities can do to law abiding public should they perceive criminal activity real or fantasy.

many years ago when china had a major drug problem............
what they did was not only shoot the drug dealer.s....... but many times they would also kill the whole family and friends........
real quick they got rid of the drug problem in china........
and since iam speaking about the chinese people..... many months ago on this site the dominican tourists minister said he had met with officals from china and said that the chinese where coming to the dr by the millions...
and that if they all spent only $1 dollar each it would mean millions for the people of the dr... and this way we can have the money to get real teachers and real schools and a real police force for all of us in the dr.

Finally they are catching some thugs and putting them behind bars, so that the rest of society can get a breather.

Yes Zomma ..I would have great reservations about this action ..During a rather nasty murder and robbeyr at Punta Aquilla en Casa de Campo the police could not find the alleged murderer who was from Haiti so they put his brother who had no connection with the crime in prison .
When my house was robbed one time the police said they knew the robber but could not find him .but they put his sister in prison until she gave up some information.
It certainly is disturbing

This is a waste of prison space. We know they benefited from the money, but there are bigger fish to catch.

Tomas,
I think a small country like ours is impossible of becoming like Mexico. The vastness of the Mexico makes it difficult to track criminals down. So crimes like killing a whole band of musicians just cause they played for the competing narcos without anyone getting caught is common.

And what is Guatamala's excuse?
Mexico is huge of course but the cartels outnumber
the authorities in staff, weapons, communications
and everything else but the desire to win!
They just seem to grow and grow and grow!
We seem to be getting better at nabbing the bad guys!
I just hope we get better at it. For our children's sake.
GOOD TRAJABO PRESIDENT Medina!
You are doing what Lionel didn't quite finish.

I got this report that explain some of the aspects that lead to violence in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
The Dominican Republic is going through the same phase.
"The report goes on to illustrate the poor performance of the police force (poor investigative
action, repressive exercise of violence, loss of independence through involvement
of the army in domestic security), judiciary (politicization of the judiciary, exemption
from punishment, corruption) and penal system (over-crowding, loss of control, massacres).
It will be shown that the police, public prosecutor’s office and judges are linked in
their lack of performance capacity not in an anarchic

Lack of preventive structures. (Civility and Education.)
Lack of repression. ( Accomodated by human rights advocates.)
.
Failing security sector.
Poor police performance. (Corruption in the police and the military.)
Corrupt Judicial system. ( Corrupt judges.)
Over crowding. (Lack of appropriate urban Planning.)
Politicizing Judiciary structures. (Politicians using influence for impunity.)
All these things have happened in DR, in the last 20 years in both Leonel and Hipolito's governments.

For such a short period of time, Danilo seems to be having good intentions.
Let's hope he can step to the plate and accelerate the process, the task is big.
Our country is now corrupt at all levels.
And, four years is not a whole lot of time.

The corruption must slow down to an acceptable level.
Danilo will stop it!
