Teófilo José Abrahán Leo Tabar Manzur has been sworn in as the new general director of the Dirección General de Juegos de Azar (DGJA) in the Dominican Republic. The appointment was made via Decree 684-26 by President Luis Abinader and was formalized by the Minister of Finance and Economy, Magín Díaz.
Tabar will hold the position in a transitional capacity while continuing his roles as the administrator of the Lotería Nacional and the coordinator of the Gambling Betting Regularization Process.
