District Attorney Jose Manuel Hernandez Peguero has informed that he has instructed the International Police (INTERPOL) to arrest former colonel Pedro Julio “Pepe” Goico Guerrero in order for him to be questioned about his involvement in the Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo drug trafficking case. According to Diario Libre, the DA is awaiting the sentence of the Criminal Chamber of the National District Court of Appeals regarding the case, to complete the processing of his jurisdiction. Judge Antonio Sanchez Mejia had rejected a habeas corpus resource in Goico’s favor. Goico, former personal security officer to Hipolito Mejia, is living in Spain where he is attending a course in advanced military studies at Complutense University in Madrid. He is required to return to the DR for questioning about his involvement in the case of the 1,387 kilos of cocaine that were seized in Santo Domingo last December. Paulino Castillo is being detained in the US where he faces drug trafficking and money laundering charges in relation to that case.
