The National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) acknowledged its inefficiency when it announced on 14 January 2019 that it had raided the drug sales point where Colonel Daniel Ramos Álvarez was assassinated around 20 times. The last raid on the drug sales point was on 20 December 2018.
The information was provided by DNCD spokesman, who also said that at the same time on each occasion they were looking for the supposed head of the operation, a man known as Rafael Antonio Díaz alias Buche.
With respect to the statements made by Senator Wilton Guerrero, who said that the murder of the colonel was as a result of collaboration with the DNCD, he said that none of the legislators had made any such complaints to the DNCD and reminded that anyone could make complaints via the Republica Digital platform.
Senator Guerrero complained that the DNCD agents were the ones protecting the drug dealers in Bani, including providing intelligence to the authorities, spying on Colonel Ramos and what he was doing to fight drug dealing and control the drug sales points and passing this information onto the criminals.
Ramos Alvarez was murdered in an incident in which video evidence shows that two policemen who accompanied Alvarez abandoned him right after he was first injured.
