Wilson Antonio Disla and Jose Elena Garcia Perez are two ex-convicts who were deported from the US after serving time in prison for drug trafficking. Diario Libre reports that both are now involved in the passport fraud case after getting false election certificates, which they used to obtain official passports. Yesterday, DR1 reported on Isidro Diaz Vasquez, another ex-convict, who was able to travel to Varadero, Cuba, with an official passport obtained fraudulently.
Listin Diario discovered that the ex-convicts served time in the US for drug trafficking and homicide. Bellerive in Washington, certificates annulled Vigny Bellerive, the priest who the Central Electoral Board (JCE) is accusing of registering 87 children of Haitian origin as his own in order to get Dominican birth certificates for them (see yesterday’s DR1 Daily News) has been abroad for eight years and is currently living in Washington, according to the Diocese of Mao-Montecristi. Mao District Attorney German Bonilla told Diario Libre that the JCE has not ordered his office to begin investigations into the case. El Caribe reports that the JCE annulled the birth certificates of 90 Haitians registered by Vigny Bellerive, according to Judge Roberto Rosario. Rosario indicated that the declaration of these Haitian citizens as Dominicans was possible because there is no unification of the civil and electoral registries. He warned that actions like this would be controlled after the computerization of the civil and electoral registries is complete.
