FIRST THREE PARAGRAPHS

 The National Police Antinarcotics Division arrested alleged drug baron and murderer, Puerto Rican national Miguel Rivera Diaz (Bolo), said to be the successor of kingpin Jose Figueroa Agosto in his country, on international and local arrest warrants.

Police spokesman Máximo Báez said Rivera was immediately escorted to Puerto Rico to face the charges against him. His arrest occurred in a street of the Herrera sector, Santo Domingo West, when he came out of his “hiding place” to visit a barber shop in the area.

A United States Customs and Border Protection airplane which took off from San Isidro Airbase -with federal agents including Immigration and Cuastoms Service (ICE) on bard- transferred the alleged narcotics trafficker to Puerto Rico, .

FILE.– Police agents arrested Friday one of Puerto Rico's most wanted criminals, Miguel Diaz Rivera, who had been living in the Dominican Republic under a false identity.

Diaz, 39, who is expected to be extradited soon, faces charges including murder and drug possession and is being held on a US$1.2 million bond. He is accused of running a drug trafficking network in at least five Puerto Rican cities.

We already have enough trash of our own. Now every other international criminal fugitive ends up on our shores in DR. We are doomed.

Don't offer bonds... The guy can pay it and will most certainly leave the country to avoid arrest!

"He had a Dominican id card and a Dominican driver's license”

"Máximo Báez Aybar, spokesman for the police, reported that Rivera Diaz managed to get an identity card from the Central Electoral Board and he was in possession of a Dominican driver's license."

Now Lie-onel what do you have to say about this?

PS

Where is his METRO card?

Eric Holder must have put the fear of god in Lie-onel when he came to 'visit' him last month.


After the little chat they had, it appears he is giving up all his boys left and right!

I wonder if there is also a Banco Popular check in Lie-onels' name floating around from Mr. Diaz Rivera?

HateitorLOVEIT,
Maybe the story was not edited at all, just computer-translated from Spanish?

LF invited the criminals to take up residency in my Quisqueya. LF protected them and that is why he is a rich man.

LF made friends with the criminal element just as he did when he walked the streets of Washington Heights. LF is canalla and the Torra Margarita is no better.

We are a small nation. It is impossible for these events to go on without the protection of the PLD.

Seems like every drug importing country has a middleman in DR, to push the drugs through.
http://www.justice.gov/marshals/wanted/major-cases/rizik.htm

and this:

Now tell me if this is not another well placed middleman, just like Figueroa, who by the way also "walked" out of a prison in PR and wound up relocated to DR to conduct business.
