SANTO DOMINGO.- Dominican security agencies are looking 14 Germans, wanted by that country’s authorities, for drug trafficking, fraud and tax evasion, among other crimes.

The country’s investigative and airport security agencies were alerted of the German racketeers entering Dominican territory, and that the German government asked the authorities’ collaboration to locate about fourteen nationals from that country who are now fugitives after committing diverse felonies.

The information appears in this week’s issue of the German magazine Der Spiegel, which reports that German criminals have been hiding out in Dominican Republic, specifically in various tourist resorts, including Puerto Plata, Cabarete and Sosúa and the country East region.

Locally, media reports said that among the fugitives believed to be in the country, are three women who are wanted in connection with frauds against German banks.
