Every year a car owner has to purchase a new Marbete sticker, which is prove he has paid the yearly vehicle tax. According to the newspaper Listin Diario, since January 6, the last day to pay for the sticker, more than 2000 vehicles have been stopped, the car taken from the road and the driver fined. The fine for the car owner, besides the price for the Marbete, is 900 pesos. A gang of Marbete forgers has also been uncovered in the capital Santo Domingo. The gang was led by a gang leader 'Rubio' who sold forged Marbetes at half the price.
