Business group seeks probe into RD$4.0M fraud suspect’s release

Santo Domingo.- The president of the Bocel Group on Monday asked president Danilo Medina to order an investigation into why an acting judge ruled to release Carlos Lama Seliman, despite being charged with defrauding the company Molinos Valle del Cibao out of RD$4.0 billion.

Ruben Reynoso, in a letter to Medina quoted by diariolibre.com, noted that acting judge Henry Dominguez changed the incarceration order issued against Lama Seliman.

He said Lama Seliman and his family, "defrauded Cibao Valley out of RD$4.0 billion,” prior to his arrest after he hid in Colombia, which extradited him to stand trial in the country.
