The District Attorney for the National District, Yeni Berenice Reynoso, plans to appeal the release of two defendants in a case involving 108kg of cocaine found inside an SUV on Sarasota Avenue in Santo Domingo’s Bella Vista neighborhood. Reynoso says that she will appeal the decision by the substitute judge for Permanent Attention, Margarita Cristo, who ordered the release of Carlos Manuel Gonzalez Cuevas and Daniel Moreta Diaz. Only Dante Reynoso Valdez was sent to preventive custody in Najayo. Reynoso said that drug traffickers were treated leniently with alarming ease, completely out of proportion with the severity of the case. She stated that all three of the suspects in the case should have been sent to protective custody. In addition to the cocaine, the search of the vehicle by the authorities turned up two 9mm pistols.
