Dominican Police nab Puerto Rico’s most wanted

Santo Domingo.- The National Police Antinarcotics Division arrested alleged drug baron and murderer, Puerto Rican national Miguel Rivera Diaz (Bolo), said to be the successor of kingpin Jose Figueroa Agosto in his country, on international and local arrest warrants.

Police spokesman Máximo Báez said Rivera was immediately escorted to Puerto Rico to face the charges against him. His arrest occurred in a street of the Herrera sector, Santo Domingo West, when he came out of his “hiding place” to visit a barber shop in the area.

A United States Customs and Border Protection airplane transferred the alleged narcotics trafficker to Puerto Rico, which took off from San Isidro Airbase.
