Santo Domingo.- The Puerto Rican alleged drug trafficker arrested in the country Friday, Miguel Rivera Diaz (Bolo), had been living in Dominican Republic around 10 years, where he made his transactions without “no one” realizing it, just as his compatriot and crime par Jose Figueroa Agosto, who also called this nation home during the same period.
During that time, Rivera obtained a false Dominican cedula (ID) # 001-1865855-8 with the name Jose Gregorio Matos, document with which he also obtained a driver license.
According to authorities, “Bolo” had moved at least 2,500 kilos of cocaine in the last few months, with profits of nearly 40 million dollars. The Police said it coordinates with the judicial authorities to locate and seize his assets, estimated at around RD$500 million.
Rivera Díaz logró sacar del país en los últimos cinco meses 2,500 kilos de cocaína
Considered Figueroa’s successor, Rivera was detained in the Herrera sector, Santo Domingo West on Friday and handed over to Puerto Rico authorities Sunday at San Isidro Airbase, from where he was placed under heavy security aboard a airplane of the United States Customs and Border Protection Service.

In other news ---
The former dictator of Panamá, Manuel Noriega, has returned home, after spending more than 20 years in prisons in the United States and France.
Noriega ruled the Central American nation with an iron hand during the 1980s, when he also was on the payroll of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. But he was overthrown by a U.S. invasion in 1989 when he threatened to go public about America's dirty little secret
After being imprisoned in the United States on drug trafficking charges, Noriega was extradited to France.
During the years Noriega was serving as a CIA informant, using his position to work with both Col. Oliver North and the Colombia's powerful Medellin drug cartel, to launder drug money and allowing CIA Ops to use Panama as a transfer point for illegal drugs headed to US markets.

What if a criminal cabal took over the US Government and used its operations for its own profit?
Before they stole the White House, the Bush Cabal was the First Family of Fraud.
According to former government operative and whistleblower Al Martin, this is how they did it.
A self-described fourth level player of Iran Contra, Martin has first hand knowledge of the dirty deals, high-level scams, frauds, and treasonous activities of the Bush Cabal.
"The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran Contra is a true crime story that's been too hot for mainstream media.
Not only is it a shocking and uncensored expose' of Iran Contra scandals, the book is a hidden history of US Government crime and corruption.
Al Martin's account include first-hand knowledge of US Government drug trafficking, illegal weapons deals, as well as wholesale fraud by government perps -- securities fraud, real estate fraud, and insurance fraud

What a slap in the face...
Yep, the Regressives tried in vain to destroy America's inner-cities and that is the most serious of crimes...but you being a Regressive only proves how disconnected the Regressives' really are...It called history -- FOOL!

Just hold on a moment .Noriega was most certainly on the payroll of the CIA for over 20 years and did work with the Medelin drug trade...and it was only when things got too hot for the USA and they invaded panama that Noriega was taken prisoner.
Similarly , the murderous reign of Trujillo in the DR was financially supported by the USA until he got too hot and went too far ,.
So it is not beyond the realms of possibility that both the authorities in the DR and Puerto Rico knew that this man ,Riviera was here in the DR ,,in fact I would say it was almost certain people knew he was here ,,but again he just got too hot and was arrested .

Notice how quick they surrender him to the US?

It is even more curious how these Puerto Rican's can pass for Dominicans when they have such a distinctly identifiable way of speaking. No native Dominican speaks as horribly as do the Puerto Ricans!!!!!!!
The average Puerto Rican does not speak spanish at all like we do.

How do they move in the circles they do and no one notices they are not Dominican?

USA ( via his secret services like CIA) are the worst drug trafficants they did it for years in Afghanistan to finance the war against the russians.
They did it all over the world to finance revolutions (kick out their opponents). They're still doing it
at the moment we are talking. Afghanistan airports are controlled by the US Army an still, heroin trafficking never felt so good.
They also allowed the drug traffic into their own land to destroy some communities (specially those who known the Black Panthers movement...) : COINTELPRO

CarmenReyes@My sister in-law is Dominican born but half Pto Rican.Her father has been living in the DR since 1978, he came over to work on a public works project during the Balaguer govt. He met the love of his life, got married and never left. Unless you ask him directly or pay very close attention, no one could tell his is not Dominican. In fact he lives in the Cibao and has picked up the dialect. But it happens to most people who live overseas. You cant help acquire the accent after living many years in a foreign country. It is inevitable. Ive seen it with Dominicans in Spain. I have a DR born cousin who spent half of his youth in Argentina. He moved back to the DR but has not been able to get rid of the Argentinian accent. But he is working on it. Foreign actors who live in Mexico in order to get work must lose their native accents and adopt the Mexican. It is a matter of survival. Dont you think Miguel Rivera Diaz needed to survive? It was a matter of life or death for him.

@guillermone,

Foresthill,
I see you do not like the truth. Grosero is correct. I guess you and your tea party freaks, can't handle the truth. This is were the inner city drugs of the USA, came from. Ronald Regan and company. But you want to, until your dieing bed, discount the crap that has been fed to you. Go on the internet and read what Noriega and Col. Oliver North were found guilty of. Regan gave Oliver North a pardon after he was convicted of this crime. They dope Noriega up in that Miami jail. I doubt at this point, Noriega remembers anything.

Richardelberto Thank you for being a source of help. I am not English dominant. It is my second language and I make mistakes, frequently. I have written that many times in many threads.
You focus on the mistake.
1978 to now is a long time. Did the transition happen over night or over many years?. My comment has to do with the PR people who arrive and then claim to be Dominican. I imagine it is possible to happen in the frame of many years. But certainly not overnight.

Foresthill, Grosero is correct norega was dethroned because he threaten to tell on the U.S. about its drugs activities. Please research it on line. If the U.S. is going to profitsthey will do it look at the recent discovery of mass weapons ending up in the hands of the mexican cartel, and the only reason it was discovered was because it killed an american cop. Hmm if the U.S. is not getting their cut off the cash they are going to shut u down. So pay up the vig fellow dealers, i know they are asking for more money due to the economy but u either pay to play, or do the time. Big brother see it all.

CarmenReyes-
Yes, what you say is true, people who move to other countries most definitely need years before they can fully acclimatize to the new culture. We know it is particularly hard for older people who are already set in their ways. However, Miguel Rivera Diaz (Bolo) was a fugitive of the law in a foreign land and the last thing he wanted was to be identified as Pto Rican. Remember, he was still relatively young when he came, which enable him to easily change and adapt to his new environment. Besides, he was living on survival mode and had no choice, but to quickly learn how to live a life camouflaged as a Dominican. How else do you think he was able to live 10 years incognito ?
Did you see or recall the movie, Nueba Yol? The main character Balbuena went to Pto Rico and learned the accent. He fooled immigration officials and was able to enter the US as an undocumented alien without getting caught. Why? Because he learned fast, Necessity, it is the mother of invention.

Well let us not put too much pressure on Ms Reyes or get on her case. I believe there was a language issue here and as she mentioned, English is not her first language, therefore it may be perhaps that she did not quite effectively communicate exactly what she really meant or wanted to say and therefore something got lost in the translation. I would let this one pass.

@ CarmenReyes
I can definitely tell you that it is not that difficult to be Puerto Rican and pass for Dominican and viceversa. Perfect example, myself. I don't even speak with a Puerto Rican accent whatsoever and not only can I pass for Puerto Rican, but Puerto Ricans think that I'm Puerto Rican and some don't believe me when I tell them that I'm Dominican born and raised and English is my second language. In my case I never lived amongst Puerto Ricans long enough, to be able to even copy their mannerisms or speech patterns and accent. So trust me it is not difficult to pass for anyone even more so if you happen to live for so many years within the culture that you are trying to emulate. In this case he was passing for Dominican. Besides Dominicans, Puerto Ricans and Cubans are ethinically more similar than we are different, techinically we are the same. We basically all share the same gene pool, so how difficult can it possibly be to pass for one another?
