Agosto and Angelo Millones brought launches with US $ and sent drugs to PR
The deals went down in Boca Chica, La Romana and Bayahibe
SD. The alleged drug trafficking network that the Puerto Rican Jose David Figueroa Agosto, or "Junior Capsula", and the alleged gang that was led by his compatriot Angel Ayala Vasquez, or "Angelo Millones", docked launches loaded with dollars in different ports or private docks in the Dominican Republic and exchanged the money for cocaine in houses in Boca Chica, La Romana or Bayahibe.
According to the reports in the Puerto Rican newspapers, Primera Hora and el Nuevo Dia, Pito Nariz, explained that the ships were towed to private residences, loaded with thousands of dollars packed with "Ziploc" bags, in boxes or vacuum sealed. The shipments were transported to Cabo Rojo (Puerto Rico) where the drugs were thrown into the sea. They died up at different ports and private docks, and exchanged the money for cocaine and heroin in houses in the Dominican tourist areas mentioned.
Then the shipments were carried to Puerto Rico. The boats made two or three trips a month.
Pito Nariz, 34, and with a college degree in Business Administration where he majored in Marketing, stressed that on top of the money package there was the name of who would be buying the cocaine.
He added that the drugs belonging to Figueroa Agosto and that which belonged to the Dominicans were not identified, although what belonged to Angelo Millones and his partners had his nickname written on them.
"In the middle of 2005 a private launch was bought which took the money to Santo Domingo and the same boat brought back the kilos. Junior (Capsula) and his brother, Jorge Luis Figueroa asked me if I was interested and that's when I began as a transporter", said the witness, according to the El Nuevo Dia. The newspaper adds that he indicated that he met Figueroa Agosto when he washed racing boats in the 1990s.
The newspapers cited above stressed that Pito Nariz said that between 2005 and 2008 they used private boats to carry money and the shipments, but from 2008 to 2010 they did it in open boats after some of the yachts were seized on the high seas by the authorities.
The defendant, who pleaded guilty on Tuesday to three counts, of conspiracy to introduce and distribute drugs, and money laundering, said that at the beginning of 2005 the shipments were no more than 15 or 20 kilos, but in a short time on each trip they carried between 600 and 720 kilos.
Other details
Pito Nariz also reported that Angelo Millones moved to the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2009.
He said that as seizures and worries increased because the Dominican authorities were arresting members of the groups of Angelo Millones and Figueroa Agosto, both, together with Torres Estrada arrived in Puerto Rico in September of 2009 on an open boat that left from Samana.
He pointed out that Angelo Millones bought an apartment that Figueroa Agosto had in the Dominican Republic.
