Defamation case involving Roberto Fulcar

Overview

A legal dispute in the Dominican Republic regarding defamation claims against former Minister of Education Roberto Fulcar has concluded with a formal retraction.

During a court hearing in Santo Domingo, communicator Ángel Martínez admitted that his previous public accusations against Fulcar were false. Martínez acknowledged that his statements caused damage to the honor, reputation, and professional trajectory of Fulcar and his family, subsequently offering a public apology. Fulcar’s attorney described the claims as grave accusations intended to discredit a political figure.

Following the admission, Fulcar expressed relief at being vindicated. He noted that since leaving his post in August 2022, he had sought to defend himself through legal institutions and formal audits rather than media debates. Reflecting on the resolution, Fulcar stated that ‘the truth does not need to shout to exist’ and urged social responsibility regarding the use of language to avoid destroying reputations.
