Legal proceedings advance in Dominican Republic and Ecuador corruption cases
Major legal proceedings are unfolding in the Dominican Republic and Ecuador involving high-profile corruption cases.
In the Dominican Republic, the trial for the Camaleón case, involving former Intrant director Hugo Beras and businessman José Ángel Gómez Canaán, has been postponed to September 22. The delay stems from the Public Defense Office's refusal to provide legal representation for the company Inprosol, S.R.L.
Additionally, the hearing for former Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez regarding the Medusa case, which involves allegations of administrative corruption exceeding RD$6,000 million, has been rescheduled for September 14. His defense is seeking the extinction of criminal action due to the length of the proceedings. Meanwhile, the Public Ministry has requested the rejection of similar extinction requests filed by Donald Guerrero and others in a separate corruption case.
In Ecuador, former President Lenín Moreno and several family members have requested a conditional suspension of their five-year prison sentences for bribery. The case involves the Sinohydro company and alleged irregular payments totaling approximately $76.1 million related to the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric project. A court is scheduled to analyze these requests on September 7.
