Dominican Attorney General Jean Alain Rodrguez said Tuesday that police are also actively pursuing the suspected leader of the ring, Csar Emilio Peralta, also known as "Csar the Abuser." "Eighteen other people are linked to this network, including athletes and baseball players Octavio Dotel and Luis Castillo," Rodrguez said, calling it "the most important drug trafficking structure in the region." He said Peralta created a complicated system of companies to hide the origins of his assets, using members of his family and social circles, "including two sports figures in the Dominican Republic."
