Santo Domingo.-<\/strong> Journalist Ram\u00f3n Tolentino revealed this Tuesday the arrest of \u201cMacho\u201d<\/a> in Jamaica<\/strong>, identified as Jhovanny De Jes\u00fas Metz Cruz and pointed out for his alleged link to the death of truck driver Deivy Carlos Abreu, in an incident that occurred in Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to preliminary and confirmed data, in the coming hours “Macho” will be transferred to the Dominican Republic, after exhausting the procedures required by international agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macho was being pursued, through the arrest warrant marked with the number 2026-AJ0030957-8. According to sources of full credibility, the now-arrested individual managed to leave the country for Jamaica, where he was apprehended with documents that did not belong to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details indicate that he was apprehended in operations carried out jointly by the authorities of both countries, including the Dominican INTERPOL and the efforts of the Cibao Central Regional Director of the City of Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expected that in the next few hours the authorities will offer details regarding this arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is \u201cMacho\u201d and why was he wanted?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jhovanny De Jes\u00fas Metz Cruz, known as \u201cMacho\u201d, was wanted by Dominican authorities in connection with the death of truck driver Deivy Carlos Abreu, which occurred in Santiago. His name appeared on an arrest warrant issued by the authorities, while his possible location outside Dominican territory was being tracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to preliminary information, the now-arrested individual had left the Dominican Republic bound for Jamaica, where he was subsequently located and detained. The circumstances of his departure from the country and the documents used to enter that nation are part of the investigations being conducted by the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coordination between authorities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The arrest reportedly took place as a result of coordination between security agencies from the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, with the participation of INTERPOL Dominicana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of operation requires communication and coordination between the authorities of the countries involved, especially when a person wanted by the justice system is located outside the national territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dominican authorities must now complete the corresponding procedures to request and coordinate the transfer of Metz Cruz to the Dominican Republic, in accordance with the mechanisms established between both countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation continues in Santiago<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The case maintains the attention of the authorities because the arrest is related to the investigation into the death of truck driver Deivy Carlos Abreu in Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While awaiting the transfer of the detainee, the authorities must continue to collect evidence and exhaust the corresponding legal procedures to establish the circumstances of the event and determine the appropriate responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information about the arrest was first reported by journalist Ram\u00f3n Tolentino, who informed about the location of \u201cMacho\u201d in Jamaica and the efforts made to achieve his capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expected that in the coming hours the Dominican authorities will offer further details regarding the operation, the transfer process, and the actions that will be taken against the detainee once he is on Dominican territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case remains under investigation and the corresponding authorities are expected to provide further information as the procedures progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capture of \u201cMacho\u201d represents a breakthrough in the investigation being conducted into the case, while Dominican authorities coordinate the necessary steps for his eventual return to the country. Once the corresponding procedures are completed, it is expected that the detainee will be placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities to continue with the process established by Dominican legislation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, the authorities have not provided further details regarding the exact date of the transfer, so official information is expected in the coming hours regarding the development of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
