Five persons who traveled out of the DR using official passports obtained fraudulently visited the Dominican Consulate in Genoa, Italy, seeking information for the issue of new documentation. Consul Mercedes Brito confirmed that one of them asked to be returned to the DR, according to Diario Libre. False councilman Felix Julian Estrella, who paid RD$100,000 for the official passport, showed an interest in returning to Santo Domingo. The Consulate is ready to offer all the attention his case requires. The rest of the group wanted to know how to obtain replacement passports. The consul reported they did not present any documentation so their names are not known.
