With the understanding that he could be arrested during the three-day recess of legislative activity, La Vega deputy Radhames Garcia is nowhere to be found. The Department of Migration compiled ample evidence of his misuse of diplomatic influence to traffic Chinese nationals from Haiti to the Dominican Republic, however the deputy apparently has the blessing of influential politicians that have impeded his case from being processed adequately. Former Attorney General Virgilio Bello Rosa had been adamant about the arrest of the deputy.
El Caribe ?En la cosa? column reports that in the country there is supposed proof ? in the hands of the Ministry of Foreign Relations and the office of the Attorney General ? that the deputy recently retrieved US$500,000 from a Haitian bank. The newspaper points out that from the wages he earned as former consul in Cap Haitien such an amount could never have been accumulated.
