Santo Domingo.<\/strong>\u2013 The deputy of the Peravia province for the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), Luis B\u00e1ez, denounced this Friday from the National Congress<\/strong> the alleged inoperability of the National Police in the face of the alarming increase in robberies and thefts in the area, as well as acts of corruption committed by members of the Criminal Investigations Department (DICRIM)<\/strong> and other police units in Ban\u00ed and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\nB\u00e1ez asserted that in the last three weeks a “great wave of robberies and hold-ups” has been unleashed in the province, while the Police “say nothing” and remain on the sidelines of the situation.\n\n\n

\u201cThe truth is that the amount of complaints I am receiving daily about acts of corruption carried out by agents of the National Police in Peravia is incredible,\u201d<\/strong> expressed the legislator.<\/p>\n\n\nThe congressman directly pointed to the DICRIM of Ban\u00ed for alleged acts of extortion, citing a recent case in which a young man was forced to pay 20,000 pesos to avoid being arrested, without apparent justification.\n\n“Then they went and gave the money back, and the only thing they did was transfer the agents, without any disciplinary action,” he criticized.\n\nB\u00e1ez also lashed out at the checkpoints installed by a unit called CIUTRAN in communities such as Sombrero and El Llano, which he described as “points of blackmail and corruption”.\n\n“Citizens are already fed up with being stopped at checkpoints and being looted by the very people who should be protecting them. Meanwhile, criminals are running rampant like a vein in Ban\u00ed, out of control,” he denounced.\n\nThe legislator urged the director of the National Police to pay urgent attention to the situation in the province of Peravia.\n\n“The Police are not doing their job. Let the director keep an eye on Ban\u00ed, because the citizenry can’t take it anymore. Serious citizens are being persecuted while crime is getting stronger,” he concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
