ARTICLE - D.R. - ARMS SMUGGLED BY AIR, SEA

MOST GUNS ARE SMUGGLED BY AIR AND SEA, NOT FROM HAITI - TOP OFFICIAL
(Dominican Today) -

Santo Domingo - Most of the weapons are smuggled into the country by air and sea and not across the border as is widely believed, Interior and Police minister Jose Ramon Fadul affirmed Tuesday; who stated his concern and said that Haiti cannot be blamed for everything.

“Haiti is not the only one way that guns enter. The number which enters that way is minimal. Haiti cannot be blamed for everything.”

When asked why so many criminals are better armed than the authorities, the official said that this is not the case, “because State security agencies even have military tanks.”

Fadul, speaking in the Ciudad Nueva courthouse, revealed that the number of weapons smuggled by land is minimal, but he didn’t provide details of the gun-running business.
