Santo Domingo.- National Investigations Dept. (DNI) director Sigfrido Pared on Friday slammed Washington, noting that the United Sates is the country which should lead the world’s drug trafficking list.

“because it’s in the United States where most of the drugsin the world are, that has internal drug trafficking on a large scale, that is why I feel that the Dominican Republic -it is true that it’s a country of transit- but the largest drug consumer in the world is the United States ”

Interviewed in the National Palace, Pared added that because of its geographical position, the country “has been, is, and will always be a bridge of drug trafficking,” because in his view, it’s in the middle of the South where cocaine is produced and the North where the largest consumers are.”
