Then, President Mej\u00eda signed Decree 176-03 with the pardon of the seven-year term S\u00e1nchez was serving at the Monte Plata jail. Mej\u00eda had reached the Presidency on the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD) ticket. Guido G\u00f3mez Mazara was the legal advisor to the President and confirmed the decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, pardoned S\u00e1nchez Nolasco is back in the highlight for much of the same. The man aspired to run for senator for the opposition party PRM in the May 2020 congressional election. He is on the list of drug traffickers mentioned in the Kingpin Act-designated list published by the US Treasury. PRM party president said the party had reserved the position of senator for Hato Mayor for someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Attorney General of the Dominican Republic now accuses S\u00e1nchez of being part of the Cesar Emilio Peralta Drug Trafficking Organization that was reportedly dismantled last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S\u00e1nchez Nolasco is also known as &#8220;Warnel, la Letra W.&#8221; He is brother of PRM deputy, Ronald S\u00e1nchez who has served as spokesman for the party in the Chamber of Deputies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now President Hip\u00f3lito Mej\u00eda seeks to win the PRM presidential candidacy in the 6 October 2019 primary. The PRD years later would split into the PRD and the PRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also running for the candidacy for senator for the party is Cristobal Castillo, a follower of Luis Abinader. Abinader is the best standing presidential pre-candidate in the PRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariolibre.com\/actualidad\/justicia\/decreto-de-hipolito-mejia-que-indulto-a-vinculado-a-la-red-de-cesar-el-abusador-FI13829369\">Diario Libre<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/somospueblo.com\/gomez-mazara-confirma-hipolito-indulto-narco-socio-del-abusador-han-hecho-\">Somos Pueblo<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/m.elcaribe.com.do\/2019\/08\/26\/panorama\/politica\/el-ultimo-escopetazo-de-hipolito-mejia-podria-precipitarse-en-octubre-proximo\/\">El Caribe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>26 August 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2003, a little more than a year before leaving office, former President Hip\u00f3lito Mej\u00eda pardoned 43-year old Boanerges S\u00e1nchez Nolasco who at the time was in jail for trafficking in cocaine.
