President of Brugal warns about criminals that intend to damage the rum industry
The president of the Casa Brugal rum company, Augusto Ramírez Bonó, expressed his outrage at the cases that have occurred in the country of adulteration (bootlegging) of alcoholic beverages.
In a letter sent to the press, Ramírez Bonó said highlighted the dangers it represents for the Dominican economy and the country in general.
Bonó said that “those criminals are trying to harm an emblematic industry that has produced a country brand for more than a hundred years,
distributors and merchants that have served the Dominicans reliably and honestly for decades.
“For this reason, like you, I am outraged by the price we have had to pay as a people for criminals”, said Ramírez Bonó, as president of one of the main rum-making companies in the Dominican Republic.
The president of Brugal explained that both the people who are dedicated to making bootleg alcoholic beverages and those who market them “deserve all the repudiation of society and the full weight of the law”.
Ramírez Bisonó defended the brand that he presides, by assuring that criminals try to attack the dignity and our reputation as a country in front of the world.
In this sense, Ramírez Bonó showed his support of the measures that the government adopted against the manufacture and commercialization of bootleg alcoholic beverages, which have caused more than 140 deaths in the Dominican Republic.
“We support the energetic and firm actions of the Dominican Government to eradicate once and for all the criminal manufacture and commercialization of toxic and dangerous beverages that are causing so much pain to our families”, states the Brugal company.
The executive also called on Dominicans to unite against the practice of bootlegging alcoholic beverages for commerce.
“We are authentic and genuine. And nobody can bootleg that!”, ends the document.
