The police handed the Justice Department the files on a group of people who are said to have bilked 260 people of EUR2,500 each for travel to Europe. The gang, headed by Santo Valdez Cuello, a deportee who served 14 years in jail in the United States on murder charges, also included Michael Alcantara Ruben, Dionisio Santana Arache, Florian Febles Martinez and Severino Diaz Rodriguez. According to information supplied by the police, the gang was arrested by Central Investigation Division officers.
