SANTO DOMINGO.- The defense of Former Minister of Finance, Donald Guerrero Ortiz, today requested the Fourth Court of Instruction of the National District to exclude the reports prepared by the so-called Anti-Fraud Unit of the Comptroller General of the Republic, by maintaining that these are documents manufactured outside the law, produced without allowing contradiction or the participation or right of defense of the people under investigation.
Donald Guerrero’s lawyers are finishing their last turn today to conclude their response to the accusation made by the Public Ministry against the accused in the Calamar case. They also asked the court to exclude the 559 annexes to the aforementioned reports, for the same reason.
Eduardo Núñez, Guerrero Ortiz’s defender, maintained that with this action, the Public Ministry violated article 69 of the Constitution of the Republic, which establishes, among other things, that “all evidence obtained in violation of the law is null.”
He denounced that the Public Ministry fabricated reports to construct a false narrative and legitimize a persecution without real facts, in violation of existing legal regulations.
He stated that these reports do not respond to a technical or impartial exercise, but to a deliberate attempt to create documents to justify actions that were intended to be carried out and give the appearance of legality to a narrative that did not respond to real facts, in order to sell the country a story that does not correspond to the truth.
The jurist explained that in the period between 2021 and 2024, audit reports were prepared on expropriations of the Ministry of Finance attributed to an Anti-Fraud Unit that does not legally exist.
That audit, he indicated, was carried out without notifying, without allowing participation and without granting access to information to the people under scrutiny.
