Let the drug flow through...


I say the DR Government needs to have a pact with the drug dealers, whereas they can ship all the drugs they want through The DR to The US and Europe, as long as they don't sell any in The DR. If we're not going to get any help with a problem which is not really a DR problem then let them take care of their own issues in their own countries.

That is the same deal that Noreiga struck with the drug cartrels. He ended up getting invaded by the United States.

However, I agree with you. If the US is unwilling to help the DR combat the cartels, considering the affect the drug conduit is having on the Dominican population, it should do what it has to do to minimize the damage. If that includes striking a deal with the drug cartels, so be it. The Dominican government's first priority should be to protect its own citizens.

Not exactly the same deal, Noriega sought and acquired full partnership, vis a vis Pablo Escobar.

And I suggest moving this discussion to the Debate section.

I agree JR. And not only that, he also wanted to cut out the CIA from the drugs for arms dealing, which wasn't a smart move. Not the same thing at all. He was clearly trying to move off the reservation.

I am aware that Noreiga profited from the relationship. However, he did specifically work to keep the drug trade from spilling over into his own country, as opposed to the situation that exists there now.

I can't imagine that the DR political/military leadership would refuse a chance at making money off of it as well.

It appears that many in the drugs business in Bani can no longer afford the necessary payments they have to make to the DNCD, but if they try to leave the 'industry' the DNCD go after them.

Looks like at least 2 of the Paya group are going to US for trial 'Una fuente de la embajada Norteamericana en el país, confirmó la noche de este sábado que el ex teniente coronel de la Marina de Guerra Ricardo Guzmán Pérez y el ex teniente de navío Edward Mayobanex Rodríguez Montero, serán extraditados, para ser juzgados por una Corte Federal, por tráfico de Drogas hacia ese territorio, en los próximos días'
Dos acusados de matanza Paya serían extraditados hacia EEUU

And here's an interesting development: Jaime David Fernández wants the DEA operatives who were working in the DR & who got turned into members of the drugs industry, to be named and prosecuted.

The Supreme Court declared the second defamation suit against Senator Guerrero inadmissable (this was the one brought by the ex-Fiscal Victor Cordero) today. Video here:
