Alleged false councilman arrested

A man was arrested upon his arrival at Las Americas International Airport from Spain carrying an official passport who is presumed to be one of the false council members that obtained the documents irregularly. According to Diario Libre, Fernando Beltre, originally from Azua, used an official passport that says he is a council member of the Municipal City Hall of Tabara Abajo. He was detained by Migration officials. According to records, Beltre traveled to Spain last June and returned on 23 November, apparently without hearing about the commotion that broke out when the mafia that issued official passports to false council members was discovered. He was taken to the main building of the Migration Department, and will be indicted if found to be involved in the case.
