Santo Domingo.- Agents of the National Police captured in Boca Chica Denis Bautista Vázquez, alias “Denis Blanco” and/or “Guachupita Micro”, 45 years old, identified as a high-risk criminal with multiple submissions to justice for serious crimes, including homicides and contract killings. The detainee is identified by intelligence agencies as one of the main drug distributors at the micro-trafficking level in the National District and other locations in the country. In the underworld, he is known by the alias "The King of micro-trafficking in Guachupita". The operation originated following a call to the National Emergency Attention System 9-1-1, when a 23-year-old woman reported having been the victim of an attempted drowning (attempted homicide) and sexual assault while on a yacht at the Salpa Marina in Boca Chica. The victim was taken to a medical center, received care, and was referred to the medical examiner for evaluation purposes.
