Dominican Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso has told reporters that he believes the figure of one million Haitians with fake Dominican papers to be, in his words, "conservative". According to Hoy, the minister expressed confidence in the great job that the Central Electoral Board (JCE) was doing in supervising and controlling Civil Registry offices around the country. Local media has reported the results of the investigation carried out by state security officials that revealed that over a million Haitians possess false documents, many of which were obtained with the assistance of NGOs. The report shows that much of the irregular documentation was processed in the towns surrounding sugar mills where itinerant Haitian workers make up a large percentage of the population.
A report in Diario Libre says that the town of Guerra was a hotbed for forgery. JCE inspectors have taken over the local registry office, and are investigating an alleged mafia that sold birth certificates to thousands of people. The National Investigations Department (DNI) is working alongside the JCE officials. According to the report, the Civil Registry office in Guerra was a "factory" for the manufacture of false IDs. According to the investigators, many of the people supplied with false documents came from as far away as Elias Pina and Bavaro.
