The regional director for the west of the Police, General Aquino Reynoso Robles now says he was unaware that the prosecutors he denounced for corruption in San Juan de la Maguana had already been removed from their posts last year. These are former prosecutors Sigfredo Alcántara Ramírez and Daniel Aquino Familia in Las Matas de Farfán, San Juan de la Maguana. The Police reported these were sent to trial.
Attorney General Jean Alain Rodriguez had called to Santo Domingo General Reynoso after he said at a public event that prosecutors were involved in drug trafficking.
The Police reported, in a press release, that the former prosecutors were suspended last year after evidence was obtained that linked them to crimes of association with criminals, malfeasance and bribery in the course of investigations carried out in cases of drug trafficking and other crimes. Aquino also clarified he was referring to those two prosecutors and to a Police lieutenant colonel that directed the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) in the area who also was sent to justice. The press release says that Aquino has apologized for making the statement incriminating prosecutors and police in the area.
