One month after finding US$4.6 million in an armored SUV in the parking lot of a luxury high-rise in Santo Domingo, the authorities have still not located Jose Figueroa Agosto, the Puerto Rican fugitive and alleged owner of the millions among other expensive properties. The National Drug Control Department (DNCD) and local prosecutors continue to search for properties and other assets linked to the fugitive. The DNCD told reporters from Hoy that Figueroa heads a gang that laundered money from drug trafficking using front men to buy properties. The DNCD said that they had appraised properties "worth an estimated hundreds of millions of pesos."
These properties include a small farm with a menagerie of animals on kilometer 25 of the Duarte Highway, two houses in Arroyo Hondo, a luxury apartment in Juan Dolio and the two luxury apartments in Santo Domingo where the initial discoveries were made. According to sources in the DNCD, other assets have been located in Santo Domingo and in the provinces, and these will be seized when all the paperwork is finished. Anti-narcotic agents specialized in financial investigations are in charge of locating these assets.
