When I heard my first story of someone buying a house with a false title, I just figured that was up in Las Terrenas. The second story of a lawyer stealing a car, while he was filing papers of ownership.. that was perhaps just "bad karma" on the part of the owners.. But I wanted incomers to have this story of what happened to a Dominican American-- fluent in Spanish, who came down here to reclaim property that his grandfather had.
I have seen the papers in question, along with this man?s passport- yes, clearly fraudlent. I offerred to post this here for him since I wanted to offer him a bit of support from the "expat" community since these particular lawyers are VERY HIGHLY PLACED... He was willing to post his name and number but I was fearful that he would be "disappeared"
To wit:
DOMINICAN REALITY FOR AMERICAN PROPERTY OWNERS
On Tuesday June 17 of this year my home was damaged and ransacked by the assistant district attorney Rosa Vasquez. Most of my valuable personal possessions were removed along with my all my archives of private and very personal files of acts of corruptions committed by local authorities against myself and other Americans for the last thirteen years. Along with its legal proof of each case, so as in any democratic system of judicial justice. The guilty would be in jailed, but instead I was brutally handcuffed and arrested in front of my neighbors and wasn?t explained and neither shown nor allowed to read the accusation that is the cause for their action.
The reason for the action was taken a lawyer called Martin C. Freites and his partners Jose Luis Mateo Concepcion and the public notary Carmen Victoria Castillo Rodriguez registration number 6078. Months earlier I denounced them publicly on the radio and to local authorities as the persons involved a falsified legal contract and invasion without permission of my private and independently furnished room that I rent only to foreign travelers .
These lawyers and individual fabricated and notarized a legal rental agreement of my property with my obliviously forged signature and expired U.S. passport number. The purpose of this act was to then proceed to accuse me legally of stealing from one of them in order to keep me jailed while they established physical possession of my home based on the fake rental agreement while I endured the long and endless court hearings removed from my home. Based on the faked rental contract and dwindling economic resources for being locked in jailed. These lawyers would then proceed to fabricate a fake bill of sale of the property using a proven successfully fake rental agreement as proof of my signature.
Incredible but true. It?s been done before in D.R.
Its ironic that the assistant district attorney Rosa Volquez who raided and seized my possessions from my home is the same authority who only months earlier was and presently is assigned to handle my case against Elizabeth Calcagno who illegally cashed a rental check for $22,000.00 directed to me, Miss Calcagno?s brother just happens to be fellow assistant district attorney Carlos Calcagno Dominguez. Need I say more?
The bottom line is that the Dominican Republic is a poor property investment and financial banking choice for honest individuals. With hard earned resources. And for their lawyers: a competent honest one does not exist. Even the president of the Lawyers Association, Jose Fernando Perez Volquez was once my lawyer who came to me saying that he was sent to me by the American consulate to help me in my time of need. Only to proceed to empty my bank account, and go on vacation, leaving me to rot in prison. Based on another false accusation with questionable legal procedures.
Fortunately months later I was released with the help of outside non- lawyer caring individuals under my directions.
