Wanted: José David Figueroa Agosto and Sobeida Féliz Morel
Zoom Picture

Santo Domingo.- National District Prosecutor Alejandro Moscoso Segarra confirmed yesterday that the people seen in security video images from a Puerto Rican shopping mall were indeed fugitives José Figueroa Agosto and Sobeida Félix Morel.

Moscoso Segarra said that the Prosecutors Office had no doubt that the people in the film were the fugitives.  “As far as we are concerned the video is real, there is no doubt and it matches with reality”.

He revealed that staff from the National District Prosecutors Office had traveled to Puerto Rico and in coordination with the local authorities had spoken to workers in the store, showing them photos of the two fugitives. The employees said that they had shopped in their store, and that this confirms that the security camera images are those of Figueroa Agosto and Félix Morel.

Moscoso Segarra called on the Puerto Rican authorities to step up efforts to find Figueroa Agosto and Sobeida Félix, who are wanted for drug trafficking and asset laundering in the DR.

Figueroa Agosto and Sobeida Félix are on the run following the discovery of US$4.6 million in a luxury vehicle parked at an apartment block in Santo Domingo’s La Esperilla neighborhood last September.

Really Moscoso?? Its a real video? How do you know? You know technology is very advance these days the video could be staged. But you come out and say its a real video. Is this a way for you to dump the this mess on the puerto rican authorities? Moscoso is so incompetent.

They didn't "outsmart" the entire DR's criminal justice system.

They bought it.

Okay, fair enough. But how do you explain that this guy was allowed to "escape" and also outsmart the US Judicial System in the first place? I mean, the guy was in prison in PR before he made his "escapade" to the DR and bought off everyone and their mother. It's obvious that these folks aren't getting caught because they have protection from powerful people on both sides of the coin.

I have grown to admire this couple. They have made fools out of the Payasos in the established governments. The idiot politicos can't seem to figure out what base they are on and can't get the fingure out of their own butts. Run Figueroa Agusto & Sobeida Felix! Continue to embarrass the fools at the US Justice Dept, DEA FBI, PR authorities and the entire dominican ruling society. I think this has become funny. All are BUFFOONS ! Let the world know who the two faced government/military/police types you used to buy favors from.

Diablo, You guys don't understand whats going on here.

They didn't outsmart no one, well they might have outsmarted the US when they escape from PR. But as for The DR, they completely bought that sh*t. Even the President got a few millions. That F'ing system is too "CORRUPT." We need stronger leaders, who are there for the benefit of the country, not just their own.

Think about it, if TRUJILLO was in power, this sh*t would not have lasted a week. Those two would not even exist right now.

Corruption is what is dragging our country right down the toilet.

perlurdom, brilliant, macho mentality. Once again. You aonly make my point.

Sure these fools will do anything and I mean anything to keep their graft, nepotism and amorale behavior from stopping,

Every literate country has realized, for DECADES to "Follow the Money", but the DR ressists because NO one could explain where their money came from.

Pathologically corrupt.

Oh, And I do believe these thug morons would arrest me for NO reason, what a society.

Folks. Calm down. Let's not join the game of "fixing the blame" that the involved governments have chosen rather that to fix their respective problems. The guy was locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Guaynabo in San Juan...not Leavenworth or Atlanta or even Miami...San Juan. How many of his relatives, employees, cohorts do you think are detained there? How many are COs? This guy has amassed a fortune in the drug trade and he knows who and how to con and to bribe. His escape was a team effort and when he is reincarcerated (and he will be) he will find himself in much less familiar surroundings where he needs an overcoat for his yard time 6 months out of the year.

He is a big deal in the DR but not even a blip in the US justice system where there are thousands of bigger fish to fry. Has anyone seen a word about this clown on any US media outlet? Small fries don't make the cut.

Remember that guy from NC who was suspected of the Atlanta Olympic Village and several abortion clinics? The FBI lost him in the NC woods and gave up looking 6 Months later. A couple years afterward he came out of the woods and was arrested without incident, tried and sentenced.

Something similar will happen to these two.

If they were actually shopping in PR, then they're both undercover, but quite stupid, since a lot of damage was done on their behalf and they could be killed on the first street corner..

If they are not undercover, and were shopping in PR, then they brought stupidity to its apogea. The chap broke out of jail with a ticket in the hundreds, and will go back?? Pleeeeeezzz.

Now they have demonstrated time again they are anything but stupid.

Ergo, they were not shopping in PR.

I think that there's a third option.

Maybe having stashed millions and millions made from dealing in other peoples misfortunes and bribing their way around P.R. and D.R., buying the allegience of Military, Corrections and Immigrations officials and buying and selling co-conspirators like baseball cards for so many years this guy is so arrogant that he feels "untouchable" on his home turf.

Successful criminals, not unlike successful politicians often fall prey to their own arrogance and eventually it is that and not the fine efforts of the Dom. or US law enforcement communities which eventually leads to their demise.

It's the "Marion Barry" rule, Dominican style.

something doesn't add up here. we know he is wanted in the dr and in pr for escaping the federal prison system but for some reason he's not news in the usa and is not making headlines or the even the comics, sports page or the gossip column. which is strange because pr is part of the usa and if he escaped he should be making headlines. which only leaves the presumption that he is working for the dea or fbi and they gave him a get out of jail pass to help solve some high narco trafficking case, that's it folks don't bust your brains over this. if he is caught by the dr authorities they will kill him, if he is caught in pr he will go back to prison for some time but will not receive the 200+ years instead he will get a time reduction and probably do 10-20 years.

This report is true. This couple have been seen in PR regularly. They have family there. The people are so scared to report it, because the corruption is far worse in PR than it is in the DR. They do not know who to report it too. Those of you that think "Junior" is a hero should check out just how many people he has murdered and families destroyed.
One brave person had the courage to inform the US Marshalls.
"Poor" Junior bought a $600 paid of trainers, with blood money.
Shame on you for your stupid childish comments.
