Interior and Police Minister José Ramón Fadul (Monchy) told Hoy reporters on 16 January 2019 that the authorities need to investigate Jesús Peña, brother of the drug trafficker Rafael Antonio Díaz (Buche) who is linked to the death of Police colonel Daniel Ramos Álvarez. Peña denounced Baní was an open market for drug trafficking. Fadul said if justice is not strong it is inevitable that drug vendors that are arrested return to the streets to continue operating.
Fadul responded well to being questioned about the statements of Peña, who said that his brother Rafael Antonio Díaz (Buche), was arrested for the death of the colonel, after owners of other drug spots operating in Baní put together a plot to harm Buche because he was always ahead and had the best sales point.
The statement of Fadul follows accusations of permissiveness in government institutions, referring to suspect complicity of he National Drug Control Agency (DNCD), Police and the Armed Forces in drug scandals made by Peravia senator, Wilton Guerrero.
The director of the Police, Major General Ney Aldrin Bautista said he is waiting for the report on the case prepared by the investigating commission. Senator Wilton Guerrero has said that two members of that commission are on the payroll of Buche.
