Counterfeiters caught

[NewsWhore]

The National Investigation Department (DNI), together with the United States Secret Service and the District Attorney's office in Santo Domingo, has dismantled a counterfeiting operation to make fake currency, passports and bank checks. In their search of the premises, investigators seized a printing press and $400,000 in fake currency. The headquarters for the operation was #32 Osiris Perdomo Street in Santo Domingo. During the operation, Lina Sosa and Alberto Feliz Guzman were arrested. Soto's husband Pedro Santiago is on the run. According to Diario Libre, DNI chief Sigfrido Pared Perez said that "these operations are seldom carried out by just three or five people", adding that he thinks that there are possible international implications. According to Pared Perez, the gang had managed to cash a few counterfeit checks but had not yet put any of the false currency into circulation. He said that the equipment seized was almost brand new. This is believed to be the same gang that cashed checks from the First Lady's Office, as revealed in the papers recently.
