Sobeida Felix Morel arrived in Puerto Rico on a speedboat after escaping through the eastern Dominican Republic. According to reliable sources to which Diario Libre had access, Felix Morel told Dominican and Puerto Rican authorities how she was able to leave the country after obtaining her freedom on bail. Sobeida is reported to have said that Puerto Rican drug baron Jose Figueroa Agosto told her that she had to get out of the Dominican Republic because her life was at risk.
Figueroa Agosto reportedly sent a friend to pick up Sobeida on a fast boat. Figueroa Agosto is allegedly in contact with his lover, who is in Najayo Women's Prison by cell phone and through the uses of text messages from his BlackBerry. The case against Figueroa Agosto, Sobeida and another eight people accused of laundering money from serious crimes is now open in the Second Court of Instruction for the National District.
