Capo exported 2,500 kgs and has assets of RD$500 million

SD. The Dominican authorities are trying to locate the assets of the Puerto Rican drug capo Miguel Rivera Diaz (El Bolo), which are 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, 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 "cédula" that he managed to obtain in the Central Electoral Board.
Rivera Diaz is said to have killed a person in Puerto Rico in 1998 and three years later he arrived in this country in order to evade the persecution from the Puerto Rican authorities.
The National Police found that Rivera liked to live in the poorer barrios and not in luxury high-rises, as a way of hiding and going around unnoticed. Likewise the police investigators are trying to establish whether or not the capo had Dominican accomplices within officialdom, like those that delivered the "cédula" that he possessed.
"El Bolo" as he is called, was trapped when he went to a hairdressers near his house, by way of "Operation Puerto Rican Locust 1".
Last Saturday he was transferred to his country where today he will be brought up on charges of drug trafficking and murder.
