According to the report released by DNCD chief Rolando Rosado, this is the biggest drug bust in Dominican Republic this year.

Rosado said the drug found in the marine terminal would be out of the country in a container shipped by a company with headquarters in La Romana.

The container where the drug was distributed on nine suitcases has the number SUDU7522562 and would be mounted on the motor vessel Columba to be shipped to the port of Le Havre, France, a city in Upper Normandy.

Cali Cartel has to come here to make its deals, antinarcotics chief says

National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD) president Rolando Rosado revealed Tuesday that the 1,098 kilos of cocaine seized in the Santo Domingo East sector Alma Rosa belonged to the Cali Cartel, of Colombia.

The official also affirmed that the drug shipment was in transit through the country.

Rosado said the narcotics trafficking structure of the Colombians in Dominican Republic has been dismantled, for which the drugs’ owners themselves come to the country to conduct the transactions.
