The Editor of Diario Horizonte contacted Interpol because an Interpol agent was being referred to by SD assistant Fiscal Bolivar Sanchez as being complicit together with the dead Fiscal Senor Ceballos in some act of extortion. Interpol are denying this version of events but sensibly and professionally they are not adding to speculation by going public with details. The version they reject is this one
Subjefe de la INTERPOL implicado en alegada extorsión junto al fiscal muerto en Puerto Plata
There is a further article in Diario Horizonte which says:
Como era de esperarse, la respuesta de esta institución no se ha hecho esperar y ante las investigaciones realizada por DIARIO HORIZONTE, el departamento de prensa de dicha entidad, en el día de hoy, negó categóricamente las versiones difundidas por distintos medios de comunicación de República Dominicana, atribuidas a declaraciones de los fiscales adjuntos, envueltos en el suceso.
La INTERPOL aseguró a este medio, que ya ha pedido a las autoridades judiciales dominicanas, una explicación del porqué se ha querido involucrar el nombre de un oficial suyo en acciones reñidas con la ley y las normas de esta institución, por lo que han exigido una aclaración sobre el particular, lo antes posible.

It is interesting that the email in English which the DH Editor received says
and a clarification has since been issued by the national authorities. because although Interpol may have received this clarification from the DR authorities, it would not appear to being shared with the rest of us by those same authorities!
We don't know whether there ever was any such Interpol agent, whether there was but he wasn't involved in extortion or whether the whole thing was a part truth or a complete fabrication. What we do know is that Interpol is not best pleased and that they contacted the Procuradoria General's office.
I think also Chris that the reason I don't view it as a 'disclaimer' in the way you indicated is because of info picked up in Puerto Plata on Tuesday. I didn't want to post that info because it would have fuelled the rumour mill although I did pass it on to Rocky because I'm sure there is equally as much, if not more, word on the street down in Sosua. It's beginning to look as if some of Tuesday's info isn't quite so off the wall as I originally thought. If the rest of it turns out to be true............well, time for another 'purge' this time of a different institution.
