Following the decision serious incidents occurred in the courtroom , where the mayor's bodyguards , guns in hands disobeyed the order of the Assistant Attorney General of the Court of the officer driving to his office for the purpose of implementing the decision and took him to an unknown place , they tried to kill a communicator and wife accused of slapping a journalist covering the incidents Terrenas .

Good! i hope he gets away with it. So its fine for the hypocrital goverment to steal billions in the name of dominicans and be applauded for it but one lower ranked elected official steals a few million pesos and hes treated differently... hes just following the status quo. this country is a JOKE. Hypocracy and idiocracy to the nth degree.

Either arrest hipolito, leonel, and danilo or stfu and let this hell hole sink to the bottom of the ocean like its supposed to. the only bueno politico is a dead politico.
