The war on drugs (dominican front) is working... The enemy is looking for alternative places to ship their crap

What most reasonably well read people know is that the locations of the drugs and the final resting home of the dirty money are not connected ,,So all the money for drugs from mexico or from Colombia is resting in different locations around the world ,,I imagine mainly in places that are developing like las Vegas , Hong Kong and Shanghai and in the caribbean islands .The official banking system has introduced all sorts of controls to try to sort out the dirty money and the clean money but there is a secondary financial market that thrives on dirty money that is in the trillions of dollars every year .Some of it is cleaned at casinos and at race courses or through internet betting and some of it is cleaned through construction ..Many governments are powerless to stop it as the courts have determined that internet gambling , even from small pacific islands or from Indian Reserves is legal . I am sure some of the money reaches the DR...as it does other countries.

Little Dickey although "not as well read or reasonable as you," probably most of what you say is true, however we should not encourage it under the ruse of “well it’s going to go somewhere why not us so we can benefit from it.”

I contend that the short term gain, if any, is not to the general public but to a limited few. However, the long term economic and social degradation far out ways any possible real or imaginary short term benefits!

The cleaning of money ...or money laundering is world wide and the criminals who want to clean the money gained through corruption or tax evasion or through drugs etc ,,choose a country where their dirty money will grow and be safe from economic downturn ,, The question that I have posed before is what happens when a building , for example is found to have been built by dirty money ...Do the authorities sell the asset and use the funds for public purposes or to they return it to the developer or to another country,,,That is the question I posed and to which no one seems to know the answer.

.......from the Dominican Republic to the eastern Caribbean, in the area of the British Virgin Islands and the US Virgin Islands

SO WHAT IS THE NEWS HERE???? THATS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS....SOUNDS TO BE SOMEONE IS SETTING UP A SMOKE SCREEN!!!!!!!
WHAT DO THINK?????

The question is:

Does anyone know where Lie-onel, Felix Bautista and the rest of the PLD's Political Committee launder their ill-gotten gains?

You can only buy so many hats for Margarita!

Uncle Sammy should know cause it's the chief smuggler in the Carrib!

I wonder if the destruction of Richard Branson's mansion by fire has any connection.

I am not an expert on these matters, but it seems unlikely they would move from such a "flexible" country to British or American territory. Perhaps expanding into these places for a "final rise" after the main laundering in the Dominican Republic, before shipping to the final market in mainland USA and Europe. Maybe shipments direct from the Dominican Republic to mainland USA and Europe are coming under more scrutiny given our plummeting worldwide reputation.

One has to wonder why so many new resorts and hotels are being built here considering occupancy rates of existing facilities are so low. I don't think anyone in their right mind would be anticipating an upsurge in tourism to the Dominican Republic. If Cuba and Jamaica clean up their act they will take significant market share, since Cuba is much closer to the USA and in Jamaica they speak English (sort of) as do many Americans (sort of).

actually, Roy, even though Jamaica has an act that really could use some serious sanitary interventions, market share is not the problem. 2 million per year, in an island of 2.6 million, is a better ratio than 3.8 million in a country of 9 million. as it stands, i do not think headcount should be the measuring stick, but quality, and sustainability.

Does anyone believe that we are any less the drug transfer location than we were previously?

OR

Do you believe that the amount of drugs passing through the island is growing daily?

And with its growth the local consumption grows as well.

Felix Bautista and the rest of the PLD's Political Committee launder their ill-gotten gains?

SAME PLACE MEJIA AND HIS GANG OF BANDITS INCLUDING "COUSIN ANDY" WITH THE BEARD. BERMUDA WOULD BE MY GUESS!!!! THATS WHERE "THEy' DEPOSITED THE ELECTRICAL MIONEY,BACK IN 2000.

But I thought you were BLANCO and now you turn out to be MORADO!

Eh Pa'Lante Que Vamos!


" 2011 marked an SIGNIFICANT increase drug trafficking, violence and insecurity in DR"

"The country has been become more conduit bridge for the shipment of drugs towards United States and Europe”

Danny....the only thing nastiest then Kingston, Jamaica is Port u Prince….so don’t come trashing quisqueya.

that´s funny, antonio. i do not see Kingston on the list of the most polluted places on earth. then again, i see Haina, Santo Domingo. before you decide to make disparaging remarks about others, you should do some reading, and research. you should not expose your ignorance to the rest of the world. Kingston is a far cleaner city than Santo Domingo. sorry to burst your bubble.

informs Antonio

Danny....the only thing nastiest

what language do you attempt to communicate in, antonio?

Danny don't need your help....have you been to Kingston? ...if not....put a pickle in your mouth.

I would think the main traffickers would move around a lot from one airport/ shipping harbor in one country to the another, as the people they have in their pockets get moved around or caught taking money/helping traffic the drugs or money..
So while taking the time to make new "contacts" (bribing officials) where one has "left" (caught), move to an alternative country until it safe to ship out of the main port again...

We have seen a lot of drugs being caught on the way out of the DR but can't remember any caught on the way in..??? When was the last time they caught a boat or opened a shipping container with drug or money???

Hey ScandiViking ... are not these same US Virgin Islands former Danish territories? Good thing you guys passed them over to the US, wow would you ever have a problem on your hands now ...

Sounds like our corrupt government is charging too much money for them to transport it through our country. Good let the smart traffickers go someplace else now too. Our economy will take a real dive without the drug money flowing through.

VeroricaDR???? really....maybe Josean 2 or VeronicaHT/veronica???....don't be affraid,,,sis,,,bro...dom bro f y hard/////////////////////
