Santo Domingo.- The Public Ministry will request this Friday coercive measures against the Chinese businessman Po Xie, owner of the Mudan store, located on Duarte Avenue in the National District, after being arrested for a complaint filed by the General Directorate of Migration (DGM).

Po Xie was arrested in the Villa Consuelo sector and transferred to the Palacio de Justicia de Ciudad Nueva, after initially being held in a detachment in San Carlos. The formal accusation against him, presented by the Legal Department of the DGM, accuses him of alleged obstruction of a migratory operation and acts of rebellion against public officials.
