Sobeida Felix seeks parole one week after unleashing scandal

Santo Domingo.- Money laundering convict Sobeida Felix arrived escorted Wednesday afternoon at the San Cristobal Courthouse, where the Sentencing Judge is expected to rule on her request for parole.

Felix, who’s serving a five year prison term convicted in the drug trafficking case against her paramour, Puerto Rican kingpin Jose Figueroa Agosto, last week claimed that the National District Office of the DA reneged on the conditions of her plea bargaining.

Last week the inmate unleashed another scandal when she affirmed that Figueroa had given opposition PRD party president Miguel Vargas at least US$300,000 for his failed run for the Presidency in the 2008 election.
