People, we don't want another Mexico in the Caribbean and we should be extra careful but have our antenas up and tactically report any drug traffiking in our soil. Just be careful when reporting activities to the authority agent because they could be on the Mexican cartel's payroll. Don't report activities if you can't CYA and your loved ones.
We must stop them before they gain too much power and before other rival cartels come turn our towns into another wild west.

Washington.- Dominican authorities have detected cells of Mexico?s Sinaloa drug Cartel in the northern part of their country, said its ambassador during a congressional hearing in the United States Wednesday.
An?bal de Castro, who appeared before the Senate committee for the combat of international drug trafficking, said the Mexican national Luis Fernando Bertolucci Castillo after his arrest confessed that the Sinaloa Cartel ?aims to create a route to Europe through the Dominican Republic.?
After being detained and questioned, Bertolucci was extradited to the United States, where he faces charges of money laundering and drug trafficking.
The diplomat linked the cartel, which could be operating in the northern cities of Santiago, La Vega and Jarabacoa, with the recent murders of three Colombians, a Spaniard and a Venezuelan and noted that the Sinaloa Cartel can ?be receiving help from Dominican criminal groups in the Cibao (north) region to acquire chemicals used in the manufacture of narcotics.?
Cooperation
De Castro also lauded Washington?s cooperation with the Caribbean nation in the war on drugs, but called ?crucial? the creation of a Tactical Air Control Center with high capacity radars to improve airspace surveillance, especially along the Haitian border, among other measures.
