And exit as a heavy weight Sammy Sosa? It will probably be hard for that guy to hide. For some reason, I do not see him operating a chimi truck in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Where and who would the owners be?

So what's over/ under on the 700 agents involved in the bust that Peralta has paid off?
Putting the total at 625 for -185.
I got overs.

Just like what happened with Vito Duval and the Ramos brothers, Nello and Gino. They went away for life due to that chivato Omar Suarez.

It is more like.."hey I can help you out with that business your trying to start" or "hey I own some condos and I can sell one to you at a good price". That is IMO what their involvement is.

Ambassador José Tomás Pérez: How can this be?
The Dominican ambassador to the United States, José Tomás Pérez has tweeted asking for a credible explanation for the government laissez-faire regarding the drug capo César Emilio Peralta (a.k.a. César El Abusador) scandal.
Pérez's statement came after the US Treasury announced it will be applying the Kingpin Act to Peralta and his drug trafficking organization. In the Dominican Republic, the Attorney General held a press conference to announce the dismantling of the capo's drug network in the country.
"Arrested with drugs several times and free, accused of harming several people and free, dozens of illegal business and free, chief of all drug traffickers and free. But devil! Give me a credible explanation for this madness!" said Pérez on Twitter.
Local media have published a long list of criminal actions by Peralta over the past 20 years. Over all those years, Peralta enjoyed privileged impunity.
On his Twitter account, Pérez asked for a credible explanation to the crime situation now in the open.
Perez is a member of the Political Committee of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD).

Was César el Abusador tipped off and has left the country?
A report in El Nacional newspaper says acting US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) chief Uttam Dhillon personally delivered to the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD) authorities the file on drug capo Cesar Emilio Peralta in a visit he made to the country on 18 July 2019.
As reported in El Nacional, shortly after, Peralta was tipped off about the interest of the United States government in his arrest. The source told the newspaper: "Cesar El Abusador was alerted by an influential person, a military or civilian, of what was coming. El Nacional reported that the same person would have recommended Peralta immediately leave the country."
The file for the raid on Peralta's businesses was issued on Thursday, 15 August, but the actual sweep was delayed to Tuesday, 20 August. El Nacional speculated that Peralta had left the country with his family and close collaborators after spending the weekend at a resort in Punta Cana.
El Nacional reported that the Office of Control of Foreign Assets of the US Treasury has designated Peralta as a significant foreign narcotics trafficker under the Kingpin Act.
During his visit to the Dominican Republic, the acting administrator of the DEA met with DNCD president Felix Alburquerque Comprés. Dhillon was accompanied on the visit by special agent in charge of the Caribbean Division, Apolonio Collazo; DEA country attaché, Carl A Shirer; Robyn Thiemann, chief of staff, US Department of Justice; and Hayley Conklin, special advisor to the DEA acting administrator.
In its coverage of the case, online portal N Digital corroborates that the order for the sweep on the assets of Cesar Emilio Peralta was issued by judge Alejandro Vargas of the Oficina de Atención Permanente del Distrito Nacional on Thursday, giving Peralta ample time to disappear since the raid was not carried out until Tuesday, 20 August.
N Digital reports that Peralta was seen that weekend at the Hard Rock Punta Cana during the Latin Music Tour music presentations surrounded by beautiful women enjoying the performances of Los Hermanos Rosario, Raulín, Víctor Manuelle, Ala Jaza, Omega, El Alfa, La Insuperable, Bulín 47 and -DJ Alex Sensation. The online portal says that Peralta was seen enjoying the hotel's disco at night with splashy attire and the beach during the day with a white hat.
N Digital reports that now César El Abusador is officially the most sought after capo by the Dominican and US authorities. Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez has describes him as the head of the most powerful drug trafficking and money laundering network.
El Dia in its Thursday, 22 August issue, reports on the extensive criminal empire that "Cesar El Abusador" freehandedly operated in the Dominican Republic. It reports that Cesar El Abusador and his accomplices openly displayed their life of luxury in the country on social media, with ample photos showing their luxury vehicles and how they indulged in costly alcoholic beverages in discotheques.
The Attorney General would announce that on Wednesday, 21 August 2019 an impediment to leave the country was notified to port authorities.
Altagracia Salazar on her Sin Maquillaje talk show on 22 August 2019 observed that César El Abusador is married to the sister of the widow of former Santo Domingo East mayor Juan de los Santos. President Danilo Medina called a day of mourning in 2015, when De los Santos was murdered by a disgruntled employee. De los Santos is best known for expanding the sports betting business all throughout the Dominican Republic.

El Día: US requested Attorney General investigate El Abusador
A cover story in El Día on 22 August 2019 reveals that the United States had requested cooperation on 16 July 2019 from the Dominican Attorney General for an investigation into the criminal activities of drug capo César Emilio Peralta (a.k.a. César El Abusador). The request came after rumors circulated that Peralta was in some way involved in the shooting of Boston Red Sox retired player, David Ortiz in an eastern Santo Domingo nightclub. The Attorney General and the Police left Peralta out of the investigations and conclusions of the David Ortiz shooting on 9 June 2019 in a bar in eastern Santo Domingo.
El Día reports that the investigation that the Attorney General Office would carry out following up on the US request for collaboration has now unveiled a major structure for laundering of assets primarily at nightclubs where important urban artists from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico would frequently perform.
The US government has requested the extradition of Cesar Emilio Peralta and others involved in the crime ring.
An editorial in Diario Libre observes that the prosecution against major crime in the Dominican Republic has been originated in an interest expressed by the United States government. The newspaper editorial acknowledges the transglobal nature of drug trafficking and corruption today. Nevertheless, it observes that Cesar El Abusador's criminal activities in the country were vox populi. Diario Libre says that the César El Abusador news has revived the interest of the US press in the case of David Ortiz and the "strange explanation" that his shooting was but a case of mistaken identity.

Warnel Sanchez and the PRM
The president of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), José Ignacio Paliza has had some hard explaining to do regarding Boanerges Sánchez Nolasco (a.k.a. Warnel Sanchez, W La Letra), a party member who aspired to be senator for the largest opposition party in eastern Hato Mayor. Sánchez had campaigned for pre-candidate to senator for the PRM for the province of Hato Mayor.
Paliza, who is the senator for Puerto Plata, said that the party had carried out all the usual background checks on Sanchez.
It now happens that Warnel Sanchez (a.k.a. "Warnel", W La Letra) is on the list of the US Treasury Kingpin Act-designated individuals for being part of the Drug Trafficking Operation of capo Cesar Emilio Peralta.
The show business promoter and budding politician happens to be the brother of a former spokesman for the party in the Chamber of Deputies, PRM deputy Rolando Sanchez.
The president of the PRM, Jose Ignacio Paliza, denies that Sanchez was a pre-candidate. He said the party had reserved the senator seat for the province. But Paliza did not name who the party had in mind for the nomination.
The recent exposure by the government of the Cesar Emilio Peralta drug trafficking network is evidence that crime has not been a priority for the present administration, Paliza said in an interview on the Sol de la Mañana morning radio talk show.

Octavio Dotel's lawyer says his client is innocent
An investigation carried out by the Attorney General Office (Public Ministry) in the Dominican Republic accuses former Major League Baseball player Octavio Dotel of being a front for drug trafficking money laundering operations by drug capo Cesar Emilio Peralta (a.ka. César El Abusador). Octavio Dotel has defended his innocence in the case.
The Attorney General Office revealed this week that the retired ballplayer used his condition as a former baseball player to legitimize large amounts of money and properties.
On 21 August 2019, Dotel's defense counsel Fredermido Ferreras called the accusations a show used to hide the real criminals. Ferreras countered that the person who should be being processed for money laundering in the United States is the Attorney General himself who he says has fast accumulated enormous wealth.

Ladies and Gentleman, let me make it easier for all you of to understand.
As I've stated many times before, the police in this country (corrupt politicians
as well sometimes) know who does what and it is tolerated until one of them does
something stupid like hurt or kill their victim. In this case, the "victim" just happened to
be a national icon named David Ortiz. Had Ortiz not been popped for fooling around
with Peralta's women he'd still be running his multi-million dollar drugs business down here
without any problems. Very stupid move in my opinion. Who'd a thought a Dominican
criminal could be so careless :cheeky:
