Sanchez acknowledges that drugs are a big problem in Philadelphia's Dominican community, and that some party members may have sold drugs, but never with the blessing of the party. Some Dominicans, like every other nationality, sell drugs. That didn't come with the approval of the party. Some can be selling drugs and sympathize with the party, but that does not mean the party is giving its approval of those activities. We never asked someone to sell drugs just to support the party.
Someone can do something without approval or knowledge.
Maybe nobody knows where the money comes from. We raise money from all the Dominicans. We asked them to give to us. We weren't told where it came from. Maybe we don't know the business.
