Holy man. A slate of the Dominican Republic Army must serve three months in pretrial detention after being arrested when allegedly introducing narcotic substances to the Juana Núñez Freedom Deprivation Centre, located in Salcedo, Mirabal Hermanas Province.
The measure of coercion was imposed on Juan Carlos de la Rosa Placencia by the Court of Instruction of Mirabal Sisters, at the request of the Public Prosecutor's Office. During the hearing, the prosecutor Claudia Cecilia Román argued that there was a danger of escape if no order was made for the pre-trial detention.
According to the request for a measure of coercion, the fact occurred on the night of 26 September of this year, when the accused requested permission to go out to dinner and, upon return to the prison, he carried a package wrapped in plastic covers that he would have received from an unidentified person.
The investigation found that the prison authorities kept the military under surveillance. Once inside the center, it went up to the roof, where it was intercepted while opening the package.
