Seven people involved in the case of alleged drug trafficker Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo are being sought by the Justice Department, as announced by the National Drug Control Department (DNCD). They are being asked to turn themselves in. El Caribe reports that anti-narcotics agents are searching for Juan Rodriguez Cordero, Faustino Maximo Perozo Vargas, Francisco Alburquerque, Marcos Taveras Jimenez, Jose Ramon Ortega de Leon, Ernesto Guevara Diaz and Gladis Suriel Collado. According to the DNCD spokesman Buenaventura Bueno Torres, these are the most wanted and “we hope they will turn themselves in, as have others involved in the case”. He stated that would make things easier “for us and for them”. On Tuesday, Judge Kimba Wood of the Southern District of Manhattan, who is presiding over the Quirino case, postponed the trial until 4 November 2005 based on the fact that new information had emerged that would have to be analyzed by the court.
