The most wanted fugitive in the Dominican Republic has been arrested in San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid), where he lived with his partner, as reported this Thursday by the National Police. Dominican authorities are investigating Joel Ambiorix PG, 45 years old and known as The J, for dozens of murders, death threats and drug trafficking. Considered by the police of the Caribbean country to be the head of a criminal organization dedicated to drug trafficking and hitmen, he is also accused of threatening the Attorney General of the Republic, a position equivalent to the Attorney General of the State, Míriam Germán Brito, and members of rival criminal organizations.

The most recent case that the detainee has pending is the alleged commission of the murder of a prisoner on January 15 at the El Pinito penitentiary center, in the Dominican province of La Vega.
