According to most of today's newspapers, the District Attorney for the National District, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra has revealed that the assets seized that had come from the criminal activities attributed to the alleged network in the country linked to Puerto Rican capo Jose David Figueroa Agosto total more than RD$500 million. He added that the authorities would request the confiscation of the assets during the trial currently under way in the First Collegiate Tribunal of the Penal Chamber of the Court of First Instance of the National District.
He commented that in addition, assets for more than US$100 million and said to belong to Figueroa Agosto are being seized in Puerto Rico.
"The (assets) that we have identified in the Dominican Republic have been seized and we are asking for their confiscation, this is one of the requests that the Justice Department will make when the time comes," he stated. The official noted that the Justice Department has not considered making a request of confiscation in Puerto Rico, nor do they know anything about formal request by the United States in this matter. Nevertheless, Moscoso Segarra said that the Vienna Convention allows the Dominican Republic and the United States to make a joint request about the seizure and confiscation of assets from criminal activities.
