He civic movement Citizen Participation (PC) warned that the dominican criminal justice would remain naked and useless in front of the great corruption if they prosper attempts to extinguish cases who study in the courtsand warns that allowing delaying maneuvers would be a fatal blow to the citizen trust already the progress made since 2017.
PC reported that the defense of the former attorney Jean Alain Rodríguez try to take advantage of the slowness of the judicial system for manipulate the public narrative and force the termination of criminal action.
The organization recalled that, contrary to what the accusedonly in the preliminary phase they registered 94 postponementsfigure documented in his Second Report of the Observatory of Administrative Corruption Cases and cited by Diario Libre on two occasions, the most recent on November 19, 2025.
That information, he specified PCis recorded in the decision of Judge Amauri Martínezwho sent the case to trial. However, the beginning of that trial already adds 12 postponements in 17 monthsmany of them caused by challenges and appeals filed before the Supreme Court of Justicewhich, according to the entity, has also delayed his decisions.
PC holds that the careful observation of the process reveals “collusion and coordinated maneuvers” among some accused for delay the file and bring it closer to legal limit for criminal extinction. Although certain accused They claim not to cause incidents, the organization claims that encourage others to do so, in a common strategy for stop the progress of the case.
He file charges 40 people and 22 commercial companies for a fraud exceeding 6 billion pesos against the Stateand the half of the accused has already admitted his guiltpointing directly to those who remain without recognizing the facts.
PC rejected the recent statements of the former attorneywho attributes the procrastinations to alleged errors of the Public Ministry and to the size of record. The entity remembered that four observation reports show that a large part of the delays come from incidents caused by defendants and their lawyersincluding Jean Alain Rodríguezwith the evident intention to request the extinction of the criminal action.
The organization stressed that, for the first time, the country processes extensive, complex criminal networks and with great political and economic powerwhich for years entrenched themselves in public administration.
