Expect many arrests to follow up in the DR...
Un no, not exactly...Puerto Rico in the Caribbean and the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean belong to the United States and have the status of commonwealth, a legal and political status that is above a territory but still below a state.
Puerto Rico has authority over its internal affairs. United States controls: interstate trade, foreign relations and commerce, customs administration, control of air, land and sea, immigration and emigration, nationality and citizenship, currency, maritime laws, military service, military bases, army, navy and air force, declaration of war, constitutionality of laws, jurisdictions and legal procedures, treaties, radio and television--communications, agriculture, mining and minerals, highways, postal system; Social Security, and other areas generally controlled by the federal government in the United States. Puerto Rican institutions control internal affairs unless U.S. law is involved, as in matters of public health and pollution. The major differences between Puerto Rico and the 50 states are exemption from some aspects of the Internal Revenue Code, its lack of voting representation in either house of the U.S. Congress (Senate and House of Representatives), the ineligibility of Puerto Ricans to vote in presidential elections, and its lack of assignation of some revenues reserved for the states.
How smart is this guy really? on the run from the DR and wanted in PR, so he runs back to PR. Where the DEA FBI and US marshal all have jurisdiction, mmmm just makes me wonder how smart a drug lord has to be? With countries a boat trip away with no US extradition he stays in PR and gets caught.
Question in this house is, how many are at the DR airports, ready to leave before he starts to talk?
I think it will be more the case of how long he will be alive not how long he will be in jail. Someone in PR was protecting and hiding him, now the DEA FBI and US marshal have him you think he wont talk?
I was wondering the same. Why PR ? doesn't sound like a smart move to me.
What is sure is we have a lot of nervous politicians and military in the DR today aranoid:...
?Diablo! Se jodi? Junior C?psula. As well as folks' fascination with notorious criminals on the run.
Yeah, some will make I'm-so-glad-he-got-caught comments, pero mentiiiira: The thrill is gone, and you know it.
I'll say it here and now: I'm upset he got caught.
His problem: he probably ate too much mang? while in the DR. Mang?, as you know, destroys dendrites, widens synaptic gaps, and reduces the amount of glial cells. In other words, his brain wasn't working as it once did. His bigger-than-life persona forever shattered. Too bad.
Sobeida is a non-issue, though - not exciting enough, just a cheating ex-wife, available to the highest bidder, and super-duper high maintenance. STILL, nothing new there.

where will he finally get in Jail??
in the US a bit for fraud of his Passport?
in Puerto Rico to get something added to the formerly 209 years?
or in the DR where he is charged with Narcotrafficking, Murder, money laundering etc?

Remember Quirino? That "fat lady" never sang.
Great job on the plastic surgery - is it really the same person?What's funny is in my Facebook account every girl is going crazy commenting how "hot" he is. He has now climbed to a "sex-symbol" status. Go figure!!
Chiri, why do you think 26 members of his family (including cousins, uncles and queridas) were given Green cards to the USA, he was given US$14MM of his previous fortune and he is going out of jail in 2013?? I don't think USA DOJ gets so nice out of nowhere.

And did he have those tattoos before or are they part of his disguise?
