A major Dominican Republic/Puerto Rico/U.S. East Coast drug trafficking operation was disrupted with the arrest of Ayala's gang. The trial at the U.S. District Court of Puerto Rico concluded yesterday with the conviction of Ayala and his brother. Several cohorts of Ayala had already pleaded guilty and testified for the government.

A number of Puerto Rican celebrities have been linked to the operation through cash payments made by Ayala for their performances at lavish parties that he sponsored for the residents of a housing project in Puerto Rico. The feds are suggesting that many other yet-to-be-named PR and U.S. mainland high profile individuals were involved in the money laundering and bank fraud parts of the operation.
