Santo Domingo. - National District prosecutor Alejandro Moscoso yesterday announced that a team comprised of assistant DAs and the Police Anti-kidnapping Unit will pursue fugitives to reduce their numbers, just one week after reports revealed that there are more than 2,000, including those in contempt of court.

He said many of the 950 fugitives of National District courts aren’t linked to important cases, whereas others are being sought for serious crimes, among them the Puerto Rican Jose David Figueroa Agosto and Sobeida Felix, accused in the confiscation of 4.3 million dollars.

Moscoso said most of those people have been declared fugitive for failing to appear in hearings after posting bond, or in contempt of court in cases where a witnesses doesn’t attend a hearing even after being properly subpoenaed.

The official said  the cases will classified into fugitives for those accused of committing a crime, from those “declared in revolt” for don’t appear in court when subpoenaed as witnesses. “We must make a classification to decide who the rebels are.”

It's about time they woke up. In normal countries, a bench warrant is issued the minute an accused fails to appear, and is executed fortwith by the police.

As for the Boricua and his paramour (what a ridiculous word), the last thing the authorities want is for them to get arrested and spill the beans. Maybe they're both dead.

Well's its about time.......wonder what took so long.

GeeWhizMiller261,
Is that statement from insiders information ?
I've meet many police Officers in the DR and not all are on the take.........
The US has had it's share of crooked Cops in the past with good pay / Pulbic respect / benefits and all. You should start by looking at the unreported crime in the US for a change.

Damn riosm, The US still find crooked cops but at least they do something about it. In the DR corruption is worn as a badge of macho honor.

Any good cop in the Dominican Republic would go on the take in two (2) seconds if given a chance. They feel they are entitled, it is inbred.

This is one of those “too little too late” scenarios.

This is the 21st century and only this week the Dominicans admit they did not do the proper financial probe. Please…. They think every Dominican must be a moron.

Proactively, 8 years ago they should have created a “Don’t let the fugitives go unit”. Why no one thinks that this is embarrassing, today, I have no idea.

Here is another one “Violent bus drivers’ union again at center of killings”

I’ve seen these graphic pictures for 10 years now. And the same thug moron is in charge.

They should start a “Don’t kill people (especially you own kind) for such stupid crap unit”. Do it now and do not wait another 10 years.

GeeWhizMiller261,

"Badge of macho honor" you mean that dirty little "G" word known as GREED !

At least it was reported........that is a start.

Is the DR the only Country you ever visited in which to compare ?

AND IF YOU LIKE WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE MASS UNREPORTED CRIME IN THE U.S in which the F.B.I crime satistics are based.

I welcome your reply.

he's most likely a Dominican posing as a Puerto Rican through identity theft.

But if he is indeed Puerto Rican, I think the fact that he is considered White by the Puerto Rican government proves that the 80% White statistic is wrong
