A plan to kill Lidio Arturo Nin Terrero, who is involved in the Quirino Paulino drug trafficking case, the largest cocaine bust in Dominican history, was uncovered by the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) and the men who were planning the murder were identified as Dominican Jesus Gaston Ramon and Mexican Johan Moreno, according to Listin Diario. Nin Terrero was part of the network allegedly led by Quirino Paulino who is facing drug trafficking and money laundering charges in New York after being extradited in connection to the seizure of 1,387 kilos of cocaine in Santo Domingo last December. DNCD chief, Rear Admiral Ivan Pena Castillo explained through his spokesman that Gaston Ramos is detained in Najayo prison awaiting the Supreme Court of Justice’s decision regarding his extradition, whereas Moreno, who is a US citizen, has already been extradited at the request of the US judicial system. An arrest warrant had been issued against both suspects. Gaston Ramos is being kept in a maximum-security area of Najayo surrounded by special surveillance measures, as he is considered highly dangerous. He has previously been involved in several murders. Pena Castillo said that he became concerned about Nin Terrero’s life when he was transported from Najayo Prison to the Supreme Court of Justice without the necessary protection measures.
