The investigation into allegations that drugs are slipping through the cracks at the Port Authority of Guam is underway.

The Attorney General today spoke out after Port management announced the investigation.

“This is the beginning of a law enforcement effort to stop meth coming into Guam,” said AG Doug Moylan.

Moylan is not backing down.

“The people that we’ve been dealing with for the past two years are all saying it’s coming through the port,” said Moylan.

One day after the Port Authority of Guam management launched an investigation alongside Customs and Law enforcement.

The AG said his office is already getting involved to investigate how meth is apparently slipping through the cracks at the border.

“This is a criminal investigation. The entire Port is a crime scene based upon what my prosecutors are looking at right now,” said Moylan.

Moylan detailed in his action plan to the Governor reports of questionable cargo.

“Tampered seals and I had never seen a police report,” said Moylan.

Seals he alleged were broken before Customs inspected.

“By the time they find the broken seal or they replaced seal, the meth is probably out of that container,” he added.

He recommended enhanced secured areas equipped with cameras to monitor inspections of cargo at the Port.

“And anyone that stands in the way is the first suspect of the whole system. These meth dealers have money. They are supercharged. They are able to buy off public officials. I have been having senators whisper in my ear which companies need to be audited because their businesses don't justify all the money that they are getting on the books,” he said.

He urges Governor Lou Leon Guerrero to act fast.

This after two scheduled meetings to tackle the drug problem was cancelled.

“We need to question from the Port Authority stevedores to anyone in that holding area to customs themselves,” he said. “If you are a drug dealer, you want everything slow walked. You want all the detection and law enforcement kept away from the product and drugs coming in. That’s what the 100-page synopsis we did for the governor. We are open and need to listen to the governor’s perspective but it’s such an injury caused on Guam to such a high level that tax payers are hurting all around that there’s no more excuses.”

Port General Manager Rory Respicio confirmed Customs and Law enforcement will investigate allegations made by the AG, adding an internal investigation is underway as well.

“Is it an investigation with our involvement, an investigation to cover up all the suspicious facts that we are finding. They need to cooperate and it starts with the governor. The governor has to appoint representatives from each involved in cargo to talk with the AG at the roundtable. And I think the AG needs to appoint a cargo czar at the port to oversee whatever we agree to,” he said.

The Port GM added the allegations are taken seriously and that their priority is ensuring the security of the island.

“Is he talking about the security to keep meth from killing our people or is he trying to maintain that this is my turf and nobody gets to go in. Because the AG is the people elected with full jurisdiction to go in there and if I have to start getting search warrants, we will go to the courts and start asking for search warrants,” said Moylan.

As of Friday afternoon, the Governor had yet to schedule a new meeting date to discuss the drug problem with the AG.
