President Leonel Fernandez's press and public relations director, Rafael Nunez is the author of a book that is expected to be a bestseller. "Figueroa Agosto: The Power of Narco," presents findings in the investigative journalism genre with details on how the Puerto Rican operated the largest and most influential drug trafficking ring in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic over the past 10 years. He was reportedly a leading capo in the network that transported tons of cocaine from South America to the DR to be distributed in Puerto Rico, the US and Europe.
As reported in Diario Libre, President Leonel Fernandez himself will attend the launch of the book by his press director at the Sala de la Cultura of the National Theater on Wednesday, 11 August.
Nunez examines how the Puerto Rican escaped from a high security jail in his country, and reports on how powerful figures in Puerto Rico endeavored to secure his release. Eventually, Figueroa simply walked out of the jail four years into the fulfillment of his sentence, using forged papers.
The question of whether Figueroa Agosto served as a US Drug Enforcement Administration informer to help identify figures in public and private life with ties to drug trafficking is also analyzed in the book.
The identities of the accomplices that helped Figueroa Agosto to change his identity in the DR are also revealed.
