It’s either they thief or they can’t count.
That is a lot of US and EC money. Where did they get all that US money from?
These people will never learn to cease trafficking in these illegal drugs. They take chances.
Thanks to good police work they found the money.
I hope when the police is finished with their investigation and after the Court case is called, the money will go to the Dominica Treasury to do some good work for Dominica, whatever it will be.
You want to know know what happens to the money? The steal it na
I am disappointed at them getting caught. It means they are foolish. In another note, what ever they seized are classified as “exhibits” proof for the court, If you cannot produce the exhibit there is no case. After the case the article or thing returned to the rightful owner. But will the big boys claim and give themselves up. After a certain amount of time and if no one claimed, it should be used to pay court charges
Great Job Law men and woman, smoke them in every hole, every shore line, smoke them out where every we can find them agents of death and destructions. At he end of it all use the spoils to Educate the members of the public and buy crime fighting equipments and hire more officers to our force, more fire, inaction is not an option. Law and order must be maintained. imagine our little girls and boys are not safe. Who feels it knows it Lord.
Maybe dont know, love D. N.O. once a week, none on weekends?
If you don’t believe the amount told DNO by the police why would you believe a different figure given to you by anybody else?
It seems you would like to cast the police in a bad light. Could it be because you resent the success they are having with drugs?

Well i did not see any mention of drugs beign siezed. They must have just sold thier catch from the fish markets drigo was talking about. Some lucrative markets there. Drigo was not lying.
$2 million is the reported amount to the public. What was the actual amount seized? That’s the question.
2 million. thats what everyone read. im not sure if you retarded and cant understand english
Hahaha, the Speaker would say that you are impuning improper motives Anthony. Be careful my boy or Speaker may put you to stand in the corner.
Well the minister where this boat is registered gave them monies for fishing so is pay back time. This seized monies should be used to repair a bridge on d coast.
What happens to this money that is seized after the case is final ?
Stays for the state
Goes to the treasury….so they say.
What is done with the money is pre-determined by policy.
Every government has its own policy.
Don’t worry. I’m a bit curious myself.

Every bust like this is a setback to the drug trade in Dominica.
Usually it has a bearing on the sale of illegal guns as well because where there are drugs there are often guns.
Also these are drugs that will not be sold to our children or grandchildren.
I congratulate the police. Let the continue the good work. Our prayers are with each officer.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Good work guys. I hate them drug peddlers, ruining human lives. Hit them hard without mercy. Thank you.
Well they pay for all the promises that have been made to create jobs in Dominica.
