I'm sure by now everyone has seen in the papers the news about the largest drug bust in DR history (1387 kilos of cocaine). This guy's fortune is estimated to be 3 billion pesos. He was made captain by Hippo and his buddies...Some people are glad he got busted.
There are however a lot of people in the south who are really sad that this guy was "caught", since his companies supported a lot of people in that area. In addition, apparently he gave out a lot of money and helped a lot of people. I think there's a huge political component to this. Basically since this guy was a PRD guy, he was allowed to operate freely during the past administration...
Since we now have the PLD in power he was out of favor and thus got "caught". My feeling is that he will probably do time (not hard time) only while the PLD is in power.
Will they ever reveal what company at Santiago's duty free zone was the one where the drugs were going to be processed for shipping to The US?
Will any of his police buddies be ever put in jail?
What will happen with all his companies?
This should be an interesting case...What do you guys think?
