The director of the National Drug Control Agency says the drug money was confiscated at a luxury home in the exclusive community of Casa de Campo.
Agency director Rolando Rosado said Monday that the alleged leader of the group of suspects is a former member of the navy and a current agent for the country's National Department of Investigations.
More than 200 Dominican military officers, soldiers and police have been accused of drug trafficking since 2009.
Last week, a retired senior official in the country's anti-drug agency was extradited to New York to face drug smuggling charges. He has pleaded not guilty.
