If they won't be prosecuted here, then I'm all for rounding them up and throwing the book at them elsewhere.

as long as they get a trial and face the consequences of what they have done to the people of this island....who cares where the justice comes from
and it hopefully will not be as easy to purchase a ticket to freedom

If what this article states is indeed factual, I think it safe to say we are going to see the USA pick up
and arrest the other people who were named in a US court of law with regards to the Odebrecht case.

That's kinda odd... Abel Martinez went as far as publishing a picture on his FB account of his recently renewed VISA.

I wouldn't put it past him to have forged the picture though.

Look at the comments one of which is below. And nothing about this in any Dominican press.

"This detective angel Martinez has made similar accusations before about dominican politicos being investigated for various crimes, and they have turn out to be untrue. Nothing has happened. I don't believe him at all."

Perhaps its just wishful thinking. Interesting point.

Posting a picture of it does not conclusively establish the validity of his visa. Many are revoked in the system and never turned in.

Conversely, a journalist saying it has been revoked is of little validity. The US does not publish a public list of revoked visas, nor upon inquiry will they tell anyone other than the visa holder its actual status.

Wasn't it not too long ago where people on here were asking if this fella was doing a good job cleaning up the town? Maybe he ruffled some feathers while sweeping the broom?

i know abel martinez and his family for many years. The detective is some guy who is paid by his enemies to defame him. Abel just had his visa renewed and he free to travel to usa at will. He is not named in any drug investigation and his visa is not revoked. this detective is some A-hole who is bent on spreading rumors to precisely tarnish Abel's reputation. I have a person in mind who maybe behind all this.

how about a well known politician who has lost against Abel in elections? You know they spend millions of their own money to run as candidates. Abel came in and trashed them all.
Abel will just go forward in his political career. He may even become the president of this country one day. This is when I will get Dominican citizenship and join in.

wait till you see the entrance to santiago. there is this huge project underway which will soon be finished. the entrance to santiago will sure attract attention. Abel is working day and night to keep santiago in good order. he has cleaned up a lot of corruption in the city and fired many people who were robbing the city of it funds. Ever-since he has gotten married and became a father, he is a changed man. Not the man I used to know before.
Arriba con Abel!!!!
