SANTO DOMINGO. - Peravia province senator Wilton Guerrero asked an investigation of the region’s Prosecutor (resigned), two assistant DAs and general Hilario González, head of the city Baní’s police precinct, in the wake of his allegations that a ring in operates conspiracy with the Police in his province and coordinates with another ring in Azua province, where narcotics traffickers are “ripped-off,” believed to be the motive behind the recent murder of 7 suspects.

Guerrero said since August 16, 2006 he repeatedly visited the ministers of Justice and of Interior and Police, the Executive Branch’s legal consultant, the ex chief of the National Police, together with leaders of his province but they’ve ignored him.

He said that in the last four years all the heads of the National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) in Baní have collected “tolls” from drug traffickers, except general Oscar Tejeda Kranwinkel, uncle of the murdered lieutenant Guillermo Tejeda Kranwinkel.

The lawmaker said the police in Baní constantly visited the seven suspected traffickers who were recently murdered underworld style in that province, and that they drank whisky and sometimes visited even in Police vehicles.

Guerrero said they’ve identified 375 points to sell drugs known by all in that city, one of which is located just 50 yards from the province’s military post and who turned a blind eye because “the all charged a toll.”

The legislator showed reporters a thick file that he submitted to the Justice Ministry in 2006, in which he says proves the province’s DA and the assistant DA Esther González’s links to drug trafficking.

Guerrero requested a probe of Hilario González, and accused him of coordinating “a criminal conspiracy” together with police agents who do holdups in the community. He said the commission is apt to render a correct report before the situation that it demanded  the Peravia.

He also asked an investigation of a Justice Ministry official in Baní, whom he says extorts -with officials of the DNCD- the zone’s residents. He said although he doesn’t fear for his safety, he’ll evaluate the Police Chief’s offer of protection.
