Diario Libre reports that Director of Migration Carlos Amarante Baret has admitted that there are "clandestine consulates" operating around the country, trying to swindle unsuspecting Dominicans by offering them what they claim are legitimate trips and visas to Europe. Amarante did however point out that the National Police and the State Intelligence Department are working together to try to shut down these fake consulates. The Migration and Trafficking Department president says that there will be a full investigation into the clandestine operations and added that when there is an offer of 200 new jobs in Spain 2,000 or 3,000 people in the DR are victims of exploitation by intermediaries that offer assistance in getting these jobs. The admission comes after it was announced in yesterday's Diario Libre that in the last 10 months alone 786 Dominicans have been repatriated after arriving at Spanish airports with forged documentation.
