BiggerDominican Republic arrests 3 generals
Juan Carlos Torres Robiou.
Santo Domingo.- Local media report the arrests of at least three generals and three colonels in 49 raids thus far Thurs., as part of the Gov. corruption scandal, Operation Coral.
The raids took place in Santo Domingo, Santiago and La Vega, headed by lead prosecutors Yeni Berenice Reynoso and Wilson Camacho.
Arrested in addition to Torres of the Dominican Air Force, were the former head of the Specialized Body of Tourist Security (Cestur), General Julio Camilo de los Santos Viola, also Air Force, and General Boanerges Reyes Batista, of the Army of the Dominican Republic.
These arrests are exposing more evidence of the institutional corruption that plagues the country. Guess what is on the mind of many in the population is how long is the country’s leadership going to scrub soil out of government organizations before the clean shows?
This would include the current president.
Our president is the worst. He’s stealing 3 or 4 times as much as the last president. He’s selling our country to United States & China.
You must had a salary from the PLD
What an ignorant comment he is trying to fix the corruption that has been happening In The country for so long and your saying he is stealing he doesn’t need to steal pesos he has enough of his own
Wake up and get your facts straight
I agree he is trying to clean up decades of corruption. You shouldn’t have to pay police off because the government does not pay them well.
I believe once he enters his second term, he can really dedicate his efforts to cleaning the corruption. The first term is hard to get it done. They spent a lot of energy focusing on infrastructure and modernization. Things like good roads and bridges. Improvements and expansion in transportation like train systems. If you don’t travel farther than your barrio, you wouldn’t be aware of all the new and modern growth and opportunities that has been emerging from this administration. Unfortunately they are not good at showcasing their many accomplishments.
The first thing that Pres. Abinader, has to do during his second term is to remove the ability that foreing countries have to buy our land in DR. Mexico does not allow any forighners to buy mexican land. No other country besides the USA allows people to buy their land, but as we all know there is no comparison, especially know with the Haiti situation, where Canada is building a town for Haitians. Canada doesn’t want haitians in Canada, only in the Dominican Republic yes go figure.
It’s a global economy. Stop taxing the citizens on imports so they can live a better life. Pay your police more so that there is less corruption instead of asking for hand outs which is bribery
The fact that the people need to jump through hoops to get a bank account tells all you need to know about distribution of wealth in the DR.
Anti-Laundering Policies, make it difficult for the citizen with little formal education.
Do you have any substance to substantiate this claim ????
Well USA why not? 3.5 Million Dominicans live in United States and about 1.2 Ilegal Dominican live in USA…your argumentos is weak
Proof please.
The purge of the oppisition goes on.
There would be no purge if the government was not corrupt and actually worked for there citizens.
Everone in Dominican Republic is corrupt
Not everyone buts,, YES Way too many,thieves,get overs,,, still Love it,,,,,, ????
