Santo Domingo, D.R. – Samayra del Rosario Barreto, daughter of the renowned drug trafficker Ramón Antonio del Rosario Puente, alias Toño Leña, was arrested this Wednesday after being linked to the real estate fraud network dismantled in Operation Guepardo, which involves a fraud exceeding 18 million dollars.
