National Police chief Major General Manuel Castro Castillo has ordered the removal of the whole police contingent in Boca Chica following the arrest of two officers from Andres, Boca Chica who were accused of extorting RD$100,000 from a French tourist after detaining him for possession of two and a half grams of marijuana.

Captain Julio Geraldo Valdez and First Lieutenant Juan Silfa Montero, both assigned to the Criminal Investigation Unit (Dicrim) in Andres are under arrest.

Apparently the two officers demanded RD$100,000 from a 45-year old French tourist, Azria Fabrice Victor, who was arrested on Saturday night. They then released him and kept his passport to ensure he would pay the money they had asked for. A young man identified as Joel Bautista Mercedes, who was with Victor at the time, was also detained for investigation.

Major General Castro Castillo has ordered the Police Internal Affairs department to investigate the two officers in order to establish the facts of the case and has removed the head of the Police in Andres, Lieutenant Colonel Antonio Guzman, together with the whole police detail there.

watch them throw the guy Mercedes in jail. my money says that the French guy wanted some sensi, and asked the chivo to get it. he went to the cops, ratted out the guy, and got a part of the 100,000 pesos for himself.

moral of the story; if you need to partake of the big spliff, go to Jamaica. at least you won't get set up by losers.

The word on the street here is that Mercedes seems to come from a good family, fiscales etc. When they let Frenchie go he told him to go to his relatives and it's them that started everything.
I didn't know that 2,5 grams= half an ounce ;)

CORRUPTION IS HUGE HERE Read this:


Corruption a threat to democracy

A study that will be presented in Washington today, Tuesday 12 November by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) concludes that corruption in the Dominican Republic has become so endemic over the last decade that it now affects all areas of public administration, which can threaten the very democracy of the country. The dominance of the ruling party, the PLD, in both the legislature and the judiciary compounded by a fragmented and weak opposition, according to the study, has contributed to a 'culture of corruption' in the government that has hindered the prospect of economic growth and the country's relationship with its main trading partner, the United States. The report is the result of a six-month research project by CSIS Americas Program to address the current state of the rule of law in the Dominican Republic - and where it is headed.

The study is critical of the way in which the three consecutive terms of PLD leadership have resulted in the allocation of all the senior positions in the administration to party members, together with a divided opposition that does not have the capacity to complain about the abuses of power and lack of transparency of the Executive.

The study goes on to say that the chaos of the opposition and the omnipresence of the PLD have led to a single-party state and have allowed the government to use political patronage to appoint a vast network of its own people with implications to the detriment of the economy.

In a separate report on the Dominican Republic, the US State Department says that the country represents a risk for foreign investment with complaints about corruption, asking for bribes, government not paying its bills and failure to fulfill contracts in the private sector.

The report says that the lack of confidence in a judicial system controlled by the government and the levels of corruption throughout the administrative sector have helped establish drug cartels in the country with its strategic location between Colombia, Venezuela and the southern United States. The report says that this could damage the DR's relationship with the United States and calls attention to the possibility of increased migration of Dominicans to the United States if the economic and political situation of the Dominican Republic worsens.

It says that to get back on track the country needs a national debate on the independence of the Judiciary, a revision of the Law of Political Parties and an analysis on how the PRD should evolve, given its current incapacity to present a viable opposition.

nothing is going to change for the better. there is no hope. the everyday Dominican has no aspirations.they have been beaten out of him. he is a survivor. as long as he has a platano and a few discs of fried salami, all is well. a bottle of Presidente to go along with that? now we're talking paradise!!

how can you reconcile the country with the greatest food insecurity in all of Latin America having one of the highest government approval ratings in the world?

do you think there is a disconnect somewhere?

The biggest issue on these matters is that this country doesn't even care if it seen to not give a toss in these matters. The fact that even stories that are seen internationally don't sway them to be seen to do something tells me that they are pretty secure in nothing changing, don't care and really don't even care to be seen to care what the rest of the world thinks of them. No shame, Andres is even seedier than central Boca and so what a Frenchy is doing smoking weed around there is beyond me, but hopefully lesson learned. These same police just get transferred across the country, north to south, every few years the North gets rid and sends them over here, then they get transferred back a few years later for corrupt reasons again.
Again, people, any drugs here is just asking for a licking at some point, some time, somewhere it will catch you out.

it's cultural, my friend. some of these guys wear corruption as a badge of honor.

one of the most important characters in Dominican social folklore is the "pendejo". or pushover. he is frowned down upon, quite derisively. the average Dominican always confuses kindness for weakness, because, in his or her mind, the generous man is a pushover, and it is incumbent upon all who encounter him to abuse him. failure to do so is a social sin.

the same applies to politicians,and anyone in power. if they are close to money, and do not steal it, they are pushovers. the average man has no problem with stealing, as a fundamental moral issue. as long as they benefit from government theft, all is well with the world. if they are members of the PLD, and the politicians of that party are in power, they expect them to do their civic duty and rape the coffers.
