The Senator Was Wrong????

[A.Hidalgo]

Marino Vinicio Castillo (Vincho) a presidential adviser on drugs pretty much vindicates Senator Guerrero in saying that Dominican authorities are involved in the drug trade. Now we await the revelations......

Santo Domingo.- The President’s Adviser on narcotics today reiterated his allegation that the Dominican authorities are involved in drug-trafficking, just two days after he warned that the Government isn’t doing enough despite his reiterated warning to president Leonel Fernandez himself

Its a jaw dropper. The intrepid senator Wilton Guerrero has accused the governor of Bani Bienvenido Montero and a group of police officers of protecting the drug business. Monthly payments of 10 to 15 thousand pesos was the going rate for protection supplied by high ranking police officers. The supposed traffickers are local businessmen. Among them are Bienvenido Montero owner of Lincoln Store Plaza the building edificio Plaza, Luis Lara, owner of the theater-restaurant Vaganiona among others.

Guerreo is requesting an exhaustive investigation from president Fernandez. As Lambada has indicated the senator should be applauded and supported as best we can.

SANTO DOMINGO.- El senador Wilton Guerrero acusó públicamente este martes al gobernador de Baní, Bienvenido Montero, y a un grupo de policías de proteger a narcotraficantes que operan abiertamente en la provincia Peravia.

The accusations go above the Governor, A.Hidalgo.
'Acusa al Procurador de compadreo

Indicó que el procurador general, Radhamés Jiménez Peña, tiene vínculo de compadreo con el general González.

Se quejó de que la comisión investigadora de las denuncias que había hecho con anterioridad no tuvo ningún interés en indagar claramente al general González González quien, según dijo, se le presentó, a su llegada a Baní, como compadre del procurador general de la República, Radhamés Jiménez Peña.

Subrayó que el Procurador tenía hace dos años los datos que vinculaban al general González González con grupos delincuenciales, pero “nunca se dio por enterado, y nos hartamos de darle informes, y no le dio la gana de hacerse el enterado”.'

And for anyone who thinks this is completely off the wall, please refer to this thread:
Interpol Takes No Shyte.

At last, the Senator has voiced what a lot of people have been thinking for some time.

This guy either got balls the size of coconuts or has a definite death wish. Congrats to him for doing what others should be doing and for risking his life for what he considers a just cause.

Sadly I know there are going to be attempts on his life, which must not succeed, because if they do that will send a clear signal to anyone who attempts to defy the drug traffic business in The DR. I really wish people took to the streets to support him and maybe even organize round the clock watch to help keep him safe.

That is very difficult to happen, people may support him in casual conversations but when it comes to get in "la boca del lobo" is another story. Maybe if there's serious cash involved people would offer to do that.

Would there be a way for the foreign investment community to get involved, maybe in the background by providing funds, maybe through the Chambers of Commerce or other such organisations? After all, it is in the interests of everyone who has invested money in this country that it should not go the way of Mexico and similar places.

Random thoughts;

I think when the first real bomb/explosion as a result of illegal drug activity goes off in the DR, the shyte has definitely hit the fan. Another Cali in the making?

The drug trade seems to have gained critical mass after the Hypocrito M_el_a period.

Money seems to be replacing God over there........no good can come of that.

Good luck Guerrero. Your actions are to be admired.

Dear Lambada,
May 16. 2009 will mark the 20th anniversary of my uncle, Thomas Philipp's murder in his Larimar Beach Resort penthouse. As many of you know, 1989 marks the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the exit of the East European mafia to the Dominican Republic. Men, killers, to be precise, wormed their way into the Balaguer government. The millions (billions?) of dollars they brought to the Dominican Republic allowed them to dominate the Balaguer government to the point where Tomas Reinis (a Hungarian mafioso) ingratiated himself to Balaguer's sister and almost became chief of the Dominican federal bureau of investigation.
In 1999, I fought to have my uncle's murder reopened for another 10 years--but was warned that the men who arranged his murder were still alive and active in government. Senator Guerrero has inspired me to make an eleventh hour appeal. If you have any information that could allow me to prosecute my uncle's governmental murderers, please come forward. I have opened up my DR.1 mailbox, and am accessible for the first time in 19 years.

[A.Hidalgo]

If its not too personal would you be so kind as to tell us your theory of who murdered your uncle and why. I found your post very intriguing. Thanks.

Common wisdom recommends that we look at the people who profited most by my uncle's death. As a journalist, I cannot name names--without proof. However, shortly before my uncle's murder he was persuaded to transfer large tracts of property out of DORSA into a company called Agrointer, whose shares were controlled by one Ponciano Rondon. Rondon also insinuated himself into the Sosua hotel properties developed by my uncle. Having seen the sh*t hole Rondon calls an office in Santo Domingo, I tend to doubt he was working on his own behalf. Someone in Balaguer's government gave the red light to the thugs Tomas Reinis recruited for the murder. Who? That's what I want to know. Why? Just look at the changes in Sosua since my uncle's death. I don't know if anyone remembers Coralillos and the beautiful mahogany trees...or Larimar and its wall of recycled pop bottles. Clue: Ask General Imbert who murdered my uncle. He might know.
