Sobeida Felix Morel expanded her repertoire during her courtroom testimony in the case where she is being tried along with seven other defendants in the case of alleged money laundering of the money from the criminal activities attributed to her lover Jose David Figueroa Agosto. She said that all of the assets that the District Attorney of the National District has seized come from drugs, including the two apartments where she lived with Figueroa Agosto in the Alco Paradisso Tower.

Sobeida claimed that during her time hiding out in Puerto Rico she realized that all the assets were the result of drugs dealing, so that nobody can claim them as legitimate or the result of an inheritance. "It wasn't like Figueroa Agosto won the lottery. After nine months in Puerto Rico with this person, I know that all these assets are the result of drugs," she stressed.

She said there are documents that the Dominican authorities do not have, but the Puerto Rican authorities do have, including copies of checks. After justifying her decision to escape and hide for eight months, she said that the assets acquired by Figueroa Agosto and the other accused are the result of drugs.

The defendant reproached Mary Pelaez Frappier for having issued a check for US$100,000 to Jose Luis Figueroa Agosto, a brother of "Junior Capsula," and other checks for four unnamed Puerto Ricans. She said that she thought that Pelaez was going to admit her participation in Figueroa Agosto's activities. She recalled that when she fled to Puerto Rico after obtaining her release on a bail bond, she did it for reasons that only she understands.
