The Public Ministry will continue on Wednesday the interrogation process of the eight involved in the Odebrecht case, who were favored with the final file.
For today, the Prosecutor’s Office for the Persecution of Administrative Corruption (Pepca) and the Prosecution Directorate of the Public Ministry summoned former Senator Julio César Valentín at 2:00 pm, while Radhamés Segura was asked for tomorrow Thursday at 3: 00 in the afternoon.
They are expected to be questioned last week by Wilson Camacho, Pepca’s boss; and Yeni Berenice Reynoso, Director of Persecution of the Public Ministry, President of the Chamber of Deputies, Alfredo Pacheco; Rudy González, César Sánchez, Bernardo Castellanos and Máximo de Óleo.
The President of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), Juan Temístocles Montás, was questioned about the case on December 4, 2020.
The final case in favor of eight of those involved in the Odebrecht case came a year and three months after the then Attorney General, Jean Alain Rodríguez, issued the order for the interim case in favor of the accused.
The former prosecutor on June 7, 2018 informed the country about the provisional case in favor of the investigated, but on September 27, 2019, issued a final order of the case in favor of the 8 defendants, after considering that he did not find enough evidence to indicate their connection in case.
However, the decision issued by the then lawyer Alain Rodríguez, was challenged in opposition by the Alianza Ciudadana Foundation.
The case became known to José Alejandro Vargas, who was a judge in the first instance of the national district, because his boss, Kenya Perez Santana, inhibited himself from hearing the process by which he claimed friendship with one of those involved.
Judge Vargas, after hearing the appeal against the final case in favor of eight of those investigated in the corruption scandal for the bribe of 92 million US dollars that the company Odebrecht admitted that he paid in the country, decided to make known the decision December 14.
