NYC conviction deals another blow to Dominican ex president.
Danilo Diaz, Pueblo Bavaro lot in scandal.
Santo Domingo.- Ruling PLD party leader Danilo Diaz, a close collaborator of former president Leonel Fernandez, was found guilty of fraud by a New York court which ordered him and codefendants to refund US$540,499.00 to 29 people who invested in the housing project Pueblo Bavaro, Dominican Republic.
The conviction on false advertizing deals another blow to Fernandez?s image, already rocked by the embezzlement trial against one of his closest collaborators, senator Felix Baitosta, and allegations he received money from drug trafficker Quirino Paulino.
Diaz, president of Emproy-Divisa, Rivas Travel Multiservice sales manager Julio Balbuena, and Rivas Travel owner David Rivas were convicted of getting paid for a house in the Pueblo Bavaro project without producing the property agreed to.
The ruling also bans the group of soliciting money from people and from promoting real estate sales in New York City.
