The Public Ministry reported this Thursday that the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office managed to elevate the case of the National Charity Lottery (LNB) to a complex case.
In addition, they granted him six more months to continue the investigation, for which six people remain charged with crimes of aggravated fraudulent embezzlement and violation of public seals.
Three of the defendants are former officials and three are individuals. On March 23, an Appeals Court ordered the provisional arrest of the former head of Lottery Operations, Franklin De Gracia Domínguez. Since November 2021, the former official maintained precautionary measures to prevent him from leaving the country and periodic notification.
De Gracia Domínguez -who joined the entity in 2019 and was separated in November 2021- is one of the six people that the Prosecutor’s Office is investigating for the alleged commission of the crime of embezzlement through the irregular collection of winning tickets and chances.
Last year they had applied the measure of periodic notification and impediment to leave the country. But they revoked it and ordered her arrest, an action that did not occur after her defense appealed. That is why she returned to enjoy the measure of country by prison.
However, on Wednesday, March 23, that measure was revoked again. The others investigated are two other former officials with the provisional detention measure, the rest are three individuals: two with provisional detention and one with the periodic notification measure.
