Dominican Republic prosecutors advance homicide and Senasa fraud cases

In the Dominican Republic, the Public Ministry is pursuing two major legal cases.

In the case involving the death of Zeneida Socorro Castillo and the attack on musician Gilberto Julián Sarante, known as Julián Oro Duro, prosecutors have charged four men with aggravated homicide, attempted murder, robbery, and torture. The investigation suggests the crime was planned a month in advance. The suspects, including Phillips Michael Tejeda Vásquez, Juan Carlos Hernández García, Kevin Dariel Germán Troncoso, and Lawrence Mark Liranzo Marcos, face potential prison sentences totaling up to 60 years. A hearing to determine coercion measures was postponed to September 30.

Simultaneously, the Senasa 2.0 case involves a massive corruption investigation into the National Health Insurance (Senasa). Thirteen defendants have admitted to the alleged fraudulent activities, prompting the Public Ministry to request house arrest for nine of them in exchange for their cooperation. The case, which involves the diversion of public funds through fictitious services, is supported by over 700 pieces of evidence. Judge Rigoberto Sena has reserved a decision on the coercion measures for the upcoming Sunday.
