An antidrug operation occupied several millions of pesos and thousands of dollars in a clothing store used for money laundering, informed the National Drug Control Direction (DNCD) Monday.
The DNCD occupied 3.9 million pesos of the Dominican Republic and 387, 580 dollars in the raid to this store called Vistar in the east of Santo Domingo.
This business, apparently, was used to clean money generated by illicit activities carried out in the United States.
The agents arrested a woman, and a man called Ernesto Reyes Valerio is wanted, suspect of directing a net of money laundering to which other individuals also belong.
A smaller sum of money was occupied in a branch of the aforementioned store, located in the Mella Avenue, where they retained two vehicles on the name of the importing company Ernest GEN S. A., a property of Reyes Valerio.
