SANTO DOMINGO-The Federal Prosecutor of Puerto Rico affirms in its accusation against César Emilio Peralta ( César el Abusador ) that the fugitive bribed authorities to avoid his arrest, prosecution, and seizure of narcotic drugs.Although the term “officers” is used in the translation of the accusation, what the Dominican imaginary understands are the police and military spheres, in the American nomenclature this refers to civil or military state authorities.
