Top drug cop vows to nab those behind resort town murder

Santo Domingo.- National Drugs Control (DNCD) president Rolando Rosado on Tuesday vowed to head the investigation into the murder by alleged drug traffickers of a Sosua City Hall official who denounced a business that sells narcotics.

He said he’ll travel with the DNCD’s Intelligence director to Puerto Plata today, because the authorities won’t tolerate attacks on citizens who denounce drug trafficking.

Alleged drug traffickers gunned down Adalberto Pichardo Martinez Monday night. His 24 year-old son Jose was also seriously injured in the shooting.

Rosado said those responsible for Pichardo’s death will be identified and charged.
