Jean Alain Rodríguez faces 34 corruption charges in Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic's Ministerio Público has reaffirmed its position regarding the corruption case against former Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez Sánchez. Prosecutors claim to have substantial evidence across 34 lines of imputation, alleging an organized criminal structure used to embezzle over RD$6,000 million from the state, launder assets, and instrumentalize the Attorney General's Office.
The allegations include bribery, fraudulent contracting, document falsification, and the systematic destruction of public procurement archives in 2020. The prosecution further asserts that the network aimed to accumulate illicit wealth and build political careers through the use of shell companies and social media propaganda.
In response, Rodríguez Sánchez's legal team, led by attorney Carlos Balcácer, has categorically denied claims made by Attorney General Yeni Berenice Reynoso regarding potential plea negotiations. The defense has requested the court to declare the extinction of the criminal action, arguing that the legal time limit for the proceedings has expired. The defense maintains that the delays are attributable to the prosecution's own investigative shortcomings rather than the defendant.
