DEA Warning
The authorities recalled that they warned yesterday that anyone who obstructs or prevents the apprehension of those involved in the Falcón case risks being prosecuted for complicity in the United States for helping a defendant evade justice or for inciting him to do so.
They indicated that the United States justice system establishes that a criminal charge of “complicity” can be brought against any person who helps in the commission of a crime or who, upon learning about it, before or after its consummation, helps the accused through counseling , shares or financial support.
Depending on the degree of involvement, the indictment can rise to the level of conspiracy. In this context, they explained that to be prosecuted for complicity, the United States judicial system only requires proving that the accused knew that a person had committed a crime or that he / she helped with its consummation or in the specific design of hindering or preventing the apprehension, trial or the punishment of a person persecuted or under prosecution.
Investigations by the Public Ministry revealed that Erick Randhiel Mosquea Polanco became “a powerful and feared international drug trafficker” who, together with his operational axes within the organization, moved thousands of kilos of cocaine from Colombia, through the Dominican Republic , to Puerto Rico, the United States and Europe.
So far, the money laundering network has seized about 130 vehicles, including three armored vehicles, as well as a small and a large boat. Also, around 4.9 million dollars in cash and more than 22.7 million pesos.
Also, expensive luxury watches, dozens of properties, seven fuel stations and several farms, including a banana one. There are around 23 detainees.
