"The diplomats, who allegedly tried to cash US$28 million in forged bonds, were released on their diplomatic immunity,"

"It?s not the first time Dominican diplomats and from other Latin American nations are caught trying to defraud Venezuela?s Central Bank, said Z-101 FM radio, adding that it?s the third time for those from the Caribbean nation."

Wow, a get out of jail free card for committing major theft, where/how do I sign up;)
