The six ringleaders who lead the gang engaged in international drug trafficking and money laundering, made known through Operation Falcon, still remain fugitives from justice.
After the Attorney General’s Office released the 21 names of the people who were asked for some coercive measures for their participation in this drug trafficking network, the six leaders of this criminal network do not appear in the request.
The document requesting a measure of coercion and declaration of complexity submitted by the Prosecutor’s Office, and obtained by this means, places the qualifier of “investigated” to Erick Randhiel mosque Polanco, Juan José de la Cruz Morales, Rudy Contreras Severino , Kevin de Morla Santana, Sandy Hernández Mieses and José Morales Soto.
These six people, who are prominent as the main members of the gang, are charged with various crimes.
In the case of Erick Randhiel mosque Polanco, he was identified as the leader and sponsor of this organized crime structure of drug trafficking and money laundering, who also uses members of his family and friends to create businesses and buy properties “with the intention of using them as a lawful means to make money produced transparent” from drugs.
While Juan José de la Cruz Morales was described as a “first-rate target of the criminal group” and his central role within the organization was the control and domination of the maritime environment and all the distorted culture of the “Dominican narco-fishermen”, being he who received the shipments of drugs coming from South America that later enter by the Eastern zone of country.
These two are the two main ringleaders of the drug trafficking and money laundering gang, who are also accused of most of the criminal organization’s actions.
The names of Rudy Contreras Severino, Kevin de Morla Santana, Sandy Hernández Mieses and José Morales Soto are only mentioned once in the document presented by the Public Ministry.
These four are related to a seizure of 1,768 kilograms of cocaine on November 2, 2016 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The remaining 21 names who are captured and for whom the prosecution requested coercive measures, are being charged with collaborating with the drug trafficking and money laundering network at different stages and actions.
