The authorities are offering a one-million peso reward for the location and capture of Sobeida Feliz and Jose D. Figueroa Agosto, both fugitives who are wanted in connection with suspected money laundering activities that ended with a haul of US$4.6 million in cash inside one of their vehicles.
El Nuevo Diario says that the authorities will hold a joint press conference today providing details on the efforts under way to find and arrest the two fugitives as well as the details of this very unusual reward. The press conference is being held at the National Drug Control Department (DNCD) headquarters this morning, and Generals Guzman Fermin of the National Police and Rosado Mateo of the DNCD will take part along with the District Attorney for the National District. Sobeida Feliz's escape and Figueroa Agosto's mysterious disappearance led to speculation that they received help from "powerful elements in the country."
Political cartoonists are having a field day with the case, and in today's El Caribe one of the characters is depicted picking up a stack of bills on the beach and saying: "I guess Sobeida was here!"
