The Dominican authorities are trying to locate the assets of a Puerto Rican drug capo Miguel Rivera Diaz (El Bolo), said to be worth RD$500,000,000.
Rivera Diaz managed to ship 2,500 kilos of cocaine out of the country over the last five months - earning some US$40,000,000 - and he sent them to the city of Guaynabo in Puerto Rico, to be sold on the neighboring island.
Nevertheless, Rivera Diaz lived in the Dominican Republic for ten years under the name of Jose Gregorio Matos, supported by a fake "cedula" that he managed to obtain from the Central Electoral Board (JCE). Rivera Diaz is said to have committed a murder in Puerto Rico in 1998, arriving in the DR three years later to evade pursuit by the Puerto Rican authorities.
The National Police, supported by the US authorities (DEA, ICE and FBI) found that Rivera chose to live in poorer barrios and not in luxury high-rises, as a way of hiding and going around unnoticed. Police investigators are also trying to establish whether the capo had Dominican accomplices within officialdom, like whoever delivered the "cedula" that he possessed. "El Bolo," as he is known, was caught when he went to a barbershop near his house, by way of "Operation Puerto Rican Locust 1". He was transferred to his country on Saturday and will be brought up on charges of drug trafficking and murder today.
