According to a list supplied by the Dominican Municipal League (LMD), 39 false council members were able to obtain official passports in favor of themselves, wives, and children, which they used to travel to Spain, the United States, and Italy. Diario Libre reports that the list was provided to Assistant Attorney General Frank Soto, who is in charge of investigating the case. The AG’s department is also checking police records to see whether these impostors have criminal backgrounds, as it has been suggested that some are US ex-convicts. LMD Secretary General, Amable Aristy Castro, has stated his willingness to cooperate with the AG department in the investigation.
Listin Diario reports that only three of the 39 impostors have been located as the rest have presumably already left the DR with false wives and children to Spain, Italy and other European nations. Among the three that have been located is Felix Julian Estrella Mejia, who returned from Genoa, Italy, after he could not take his plans to completion. The police are said to have confirmed that some of the impostors on the list had completed prison terms in the US and were later deported to the DR. The list includes Yeiris Manuel Morales Santos, Marisol Mendoza Melo, Mateo Farias Gomez, Jose Dolores Jerez Soto, Camilo Garcia Hilario, Jose Enrique Bautista Sanchez, Francisca del Carmen T. Gonzalez, Wilson Antonio Disla, Beatriz Castillo Valdez, Mirelis Josefina Guerrero, Magloides Amires Ledesma, Roselin Vargas Ramirez, Raquel Gomez Guerrero, Francisco Javier Revi Ortega, Jose Manuel Santos Florencio, Auris Ricardo Florentino Garcia, Freddy Hidalgo Cruz, Kelmi Perez Reyes, Luciano Almonte Cordero, Zenon Abreu Duran, Isidro Diaz Vasquez, Rufo Francisco Perdomo Segura, Vianny Fernando Feliz Ferreiras, Daysi Maria Mejia Fernandez, Ramon Alberto Cabral de la Cruz, Ramona Belen Bautista, Confesor Bautista Sanchez, Luz Maria Nunez Rosario, Romulo Santos, Yaniris Lopez Disla, Antonio Gomez, Jose Elenis Garcia Perez, Juan Epifanio Hernandez Restituyo, Maria Minerva de la Cruz Mosquea, Orlando Heriberto Santos Matias, Feliz Julian Estrella Mejia, Juan Carlos Bautista Torres, Rosa Elba Torres Florencio and Rolando Sarmiento Sanchez.
