Felix Bautista scandal gathers heat

Last week leading PLD members rallied to defend their party's organizational secretary, senator Felix Bautista against accusations of corruption involving work by his construction companies in Haiti. Bautista was a struggling tailor in his hometown San Juan de la Maguana before the election of President Leonel Fernandez. His close ties to the President have led him on a meteoric rise to become one of the country's leading builders. He directed the Supervisory Office of Public Works of the Presidency (OISOE) for several years, a post he left when he won the senator seat for San Juan de la Maguana, which grants him privileged judicial status.

Leading PLD figures say the media reports are but a desperate reaction of the PRD to garner votes for former President Hipolito Mejia.

continued:

The Felix Bautista scandal has already led to the resignation of Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille, who had begun investigating the award of US$350 million in contracts to Dominican companies. The Miami Herald reports that Conille and Martelly were at loggerheads over issues of the nationality status of government officials - including the fact that Martelly himself has a US passport n and an investigation of US$300 million in post-earthquake contracts and who controls government ministers.

DR Prosecutor General Radhames Jimenez has asked the PRD opposition party and news media to come forward with proof of possible criminal behavior by the senator to investigate the case.

On Saturday, investigative journalist Nuria Piera released leads of possible clear proof of trafficking of influence.

continued:

Nuria Piera said that we are faced with a case of commissions over commissions and presented evidence that President Michel Martelly had received deposits from bank accounts in the DR.

Reporting on the story, Haitian online newspaper Defend says that evidence was presented of at least US$2.5 million in "kickbacks received by President Michel Martelly from a Dominican construction firm owned by senator Felix Bautista." The show aired on Saturday, 31 March on Channel 9 and will be repeated on Monday, 2nd on CDN Channel 37 at 8pm.

The journalist has received copies of pages of bank statements, pay ratios, charts, transactions, schedules and list of property and businesses owned by Bautista, who is described as a close friend of President Leonel Fernandez.

continued:

Piera says that since the beneficiary Hadom company had begun operating on 4 April 2011, it was ineligible to legally receive any contracts from the Haitian state following the 2010 earthquake. Dominican Emergency Law, which allows a company to receive contracts without a tender requires a minimum five years of existence for the company to benefit. Hadom received contracts signed by former Prime Minister and current presidential advisor Jean-Max Bellerive for US$1.8 million on 8 November 2010. Bellerive has defended the legality of the transactions given the emergency situation in Haiti. He also highlights in a letter that the funds were not released until the start of the Martelly government.

continued:

"HADOM is one of the companies that got Senator Bautista contracts worth US$350 million in Haiti. Now we realize why. And US$150,000 was paid through Banco Popular account No. 766-215511 on November 5, 2011, to no more and no less Michel Martelly, president of Haiti, who was already in office as president," said Nuria Piera on the Saturday TV show.

No wonder Haiti has been a sh*t hole for over 200 years. We are not far behind with scumbags like Bautista.

Shit hole? = remember no ice in your drink if you are in SD

Now you have done it Lie-onel not only are Dominicans seeing you as dictator but now Haitians see you as colonialist.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.-A corruption scandal which involved the President of Haiti, Michel Martelly, and Dominican Senator Felix Bautista, has caused severe turbulence in the two countries that share the island of Hispaniola, according to a report in the French newspaper Le Monde.

"The text of the correspondent of Le Monde Dominican Republic and Haiti, Jean-Michel Caroit, highlights that the scandal is already having its first victim: Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille."

"He explains that Conille resigned after the revelation of the granting of several contracts to companies linked to the Dominican Senator Felix Bautista, of the ruling Dominican Liberation Party (PLD).

And now for the latest from the Miami Herald:


"Dominican authorities investigating Haitian contracts of senator

By Ezra Fieser and Jacqueline Charles The Miami Herald

"Allegations that Haitian President Michel Martelly received at least $2.5 million in contributions from a powerful ally of Dominican President Leonel Fernández are causing political stir"


SANTO DOMINGO -- Dominican prosecutors said Monday they are investigating allegations of corruption against an influential senator whose companies won millions of dollars in construction contracts in post-earthquake Haiti.

The National Directorate of Prosecution of Administrative Corruption told The Miami Herald that Félix Bautista, a senator from San Juan with alleged ties to Haitian President Michel Martelly, is under investigation. He also is a close ally of Dominican President Leonel Fernández.

continued:

Bautista is accused of wielding his influence to win contracts for lucrative construction projects in Haiti, totaling more than $200 million, even though they did not meet the country’s procurement rules.

Those accusations took on new life Monday after Nuria Piera, a Dominican investigative journalist, produced spreadsheets allegedly compiled from bank records that showed Bautista’s companies had given $2.5 million to Martelly, both before and after he won the presidency last year.

In her report, Piera said Hadom, one of Bautista’s companies, won contracts worth millions in Haiti. “Now we realize why,’’ she said.

She also showed documents revealing that on Nov. 5, 2011, Martelly, who was already in office, received $150,000 from Hadom.

The report, which focused on the months leading up to Haiti’s presidential runoff, also said Bautista gave a $250,000 campaign contribution to former presidential candidate Mirlande Manigat on Feb. 18, 2011.

continued:

Manigat said she received campaign contributions from various sources, but always told her team not to accept suspect campaign funds.

Haiti’s National Palace issued a statement saying it “rejects categorically the allegations that the President of the Republic, Mr. Michel Joseph Martelly, has been involved in any corruption case involving firms or individuals from the Dominican Republic.”

The palace called the accusations a “media lynching” designed “to sully the image of President Martelly and undermine” his integrity.

Bautista did not return calls on Monday. But he has denied any wrongdoing. In interviews with Dominican newspapers, he said the contracts were awarded legally.

In an effort to clear his name, he met with prosecutors last week and asked for an investigation into the corruption claims.

On Monday, Haitian lawmaker Tholbert Alexis told a local radio station, Scoop FM, that he plans to mount a commission to look into the allegations.

continued:

Outgoing Haiti Prime Minister Garry Conille had called for an audit of the contracts won by the Dominican companies.

Bautista has claimed principal ownership of Hadom and Roffy, S.A., the two Dominican firms at the center of the contract inquiry in Haiti.

According to Haitian officials, Hadom was only incorporated as a Haitian firm on July 2010, and was awarded a contract four months later. Among its contracts: $33 million to construct a new parliament building.

Roffy, meanwhile, was awarded $174 million to construct the Fort National housing project.
The contracts were awarded by former Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, who defended his right to use Haiti’s 18-month post-quake emergency law to award no-bid contracts.

Bellerive said the principals he dealt with from the Dominican firms were all different, and he denied knowing that Bautista was a shareholder.

continued:

“It’s true that Felix Bautista presented us with several Dominican companies because we asked Leonel Fernández to help us find companies willing to work right away — even without advance payment. did not know he was owner of shares in those different companies,” Bellerive said.
Bautista plays a prominent role in Fernández’s Dominican Liberation Party, which has said the accusations are lies being spread by the opposition..

Martelly met last week with Fernández during an official visit in which he received a cross under the Order of Merit of Duarte, Sanchez and Mella, the highest honor for a foreign chief of state.

At the meeting, both presidents signed seven agreements, dealing with matters ranging from collaboration on higher education to security along the border that divides the island of Hispaniola, which the countries share.

ISA Conde said neither will officials Diandino Peña and Víctor Díaz Rua be investigated, because “they also are moneyboxes" of the ruler and leader of the ruling party of Dominican Liberation (PLD).

(Daniel de Jesús, Internauta, publicado en acento.com, el 30 de Marzo).”

Felix Bautista denies accusations re Martelly

Senator Felix Bautista is denying the recent accusations that he financed Haitian President Michel Martelly's election campaign, or that he ever gave him money, and said that he had all the documentation necessary to prove that the accusations against him, made in the program Nuria on Channel 9, and other media, were false, and formed part of a defamatory campaign.

He warned that when the time was right he would take legal action against those responsible and that a team of lawyers were currently studying all the information including videos, documents, interviews and commentaries made by several media outlets in order to take the appropriate action.

He went on to quote from the Bible, Chapter three, verses 1-9 of the book of Ecclesiastes, "everything has its time", and said that for now he was concentrating on the election campaign.

Investigative journalist Nuria Piera in turn responded on a TV interview.

continued:

"It is natural that the Haitian government says no, I could not expect the opposite," Nuria Piera added on Telenoticias Channel 11 TV program. She recalled that in the Watergate affair, in the US, the authorities spent much time contradicting the results of the investigation by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

Piera noted that so far there have been only words on the part of the parties concerned while what she did was "an investigative piece of work, about what happened in the countries (Dominican Republic) and how it has had an impact in Haiti because the Haitian president is involved, so pathetic."

Piera finds it particularly difficult to understand why Martelly continued to receive money after his accession to the presidency of Haiti. Otherwise, she explains, this would simply be a case where a Dominican politician, Felix Bautista, is supporting a Haitian politician.

continued:

The journalist said that it was strange that Bautista has received several million dollars in contracts for the reconstruction of Haiti. Of a total of US$500 million, Bautista received US$385 million through his companies, the report reveals.

"My enemy is the guy next door to me , my biggest enemy"
What, in Canada? Why?

Roy, I called this guy out on it and he is a fake Canadian. He is racist and he has told me that he hates Canada and Canadians. Why is he using my country's name and pissing on the same people that welcomed his family and everyone else equally???
Well, I believe he has a huge Platano chip on his shoulders.
He is Haitian, and I offer to pay for his trip back to Haiti where he can be free to start a war against all the Dominicans, the good ones included, in the name of hatred; not in my FN country's name.
The biggest question is what is he doing on DT??? Yes we have a few Dominican racists and freaks, but the majority are good people with many expats. This guy is all mouth and I put him in the same league as any DR racist, against everyone else he insults openly everytime he posts! I have had enough of this racist man of doubtful origins. "A"holes have no color, no religion, no nationality, and no border.

@Spin cycle....
The canoe that brought you to my shore will be waiting to bring you back! What, did you think that I was going to get you a first class ticket? And yes, I can quite afford to do what I want. I have a job. I cannot say the same for you. since you spend your days insulting everyone on DT.
Ohhh before I forget. I did answer all your points in a personal love message. Good reading.

I never said that I like your FN country. I cant wait to leave your damned country. I mentionned (used) the name of your FN country only to prove a point, not because I care for it.
P.S. Roy is a big boy... And much smarter than you!

Spin Doctor.... LOL

Spin the salad! LOL

Spin a Bifida LOL

Spin the Bottle LOL

Spin E Less LOL

Well.... racist,
My point proven! Also, please continue to call me names and insult me and my country. I love my country, I also have an OPEN mind to all opinions except when they cross the line. I still say that you have a chip on your shoulders. The majority of Dominicans are not bad, neither is the majority of real Haitians; you seem to be one that lost his way. I feel no hatred towards you, but rather pitty. You mean nothing to me except when you spread your poison with Canada under you name. You, a small minority of Canadians, and wanabees, are the poison that make the sacrifice of many others that died believing in our national ideals go to waste. I am surprised that you did not bring the racial card again. As I always said, aholes have no colours, no nationalities and no borders. I have friends on all sides that are moderates and believe in a level-headed conversation instead of adding fuel to the fires of hatred. You are therefore not a victim but an instigator.

Ohh and also, please quit with your immature name calling and insults... I am a much bigger man that that. By all means if you want to "message" me via these means to let loose, go ahead. That is the proper place to vent and express an opinion that may not fit everyone reading and contributing to DT. I live and work here, i accept the culture and language, I respect everyone and everything and try not to assault people when their opinion differs from mine, unless they attack my values, my country, or my culture. If so I respond in kind by message... Not on the main blog.
I am sorry that not all Canadians showed you respect. I speak for the majority. How is it that you stereotype everyone? I don't know your story but it must be a sad one to have turned you the way you are. As far as Haiti and the DR, I find that many of you on both sides still live with the scars of history (1-2 hundred years ago). Why don't you just let it go and build instead of burning!

Fine guy for telling me about assumptions. Calling me a fat Quebecer sitting in Miami and calling people of your complexion the "N" word. I am francophone but not from QC. How about West... way-West. I am not racist like you are and I fight bullies and agravators in all colours, in Canada, abroad, or on the net!
Tout ce que je te demande c'est de changer ta toune devant tous. Si tu veut t'acharner sur un autre reciste, fais le par message personel. Quand tu repond a de la merde avec de la merde ca fais un "shit storm". Tes commentaires que tous les Doms sont de la merde me fait chier quand to profile te dit "Canadien".
