Diario Libre reports that the would-be passengers tried to board to boat with fake passports, passing themselves off as citizens of the island, but their plan was foiled after officials noticed that they were speaking with Dominican accents. The leader of the group was Silveria Fulgencio Lopez, who was paid RD$150,000 by each group member.
