This is no joke. All of our Pan Am medalists except Felix Sanchez were in the dirty, corrupted Moca jail brought in with authorization from the Attorney General Cespedes and the prison authoritites and the embarrassing, irresponsible promotion by Freddy Beras Goico to receive money from a con man jailed for one of the most serious crimes in this country(paid assasination).
After all the hoopla about our glorious athletes, we now turn them into typical Dominican beggars who are driven to a jail, most of which received the miserable amount of RD$20,000 prizes. To put this in perspective, just imagine U.S. medalists for the olympics brought in to Rikers Island to receive a US$500 prize from a serial killer and promoted by David Letterman in his program.
While Tony Turbi was issuing about RD$5,000,000 worth of checks to our chopo athletes live on Freddy Beras TV program, many investors in a finance company called Inversiones Turbi are chasing him for the money they invested in certificates. Mr. Turbi has this finance company at Calle Sanchez #84 in Santiago and people like Mrs. Candida Capellan are demanding their investments which have not been repaid by Mr. Turbi. Mrs. Capellan made an investment of US$100,000, which approximates the amount used by Turbi for these prizes and Mr. Turbi has kept the money and she cannot do anything because Mr. Turbi is in jail and the government owes lots of favors to this guy. Mr. Turbi is even spending millions in TV ads promoting a shaky company called "Grupo Turbi" with the money from investors. This company or group has gas stations, financial investments, auto dealerships and real estate.
In other words, is it possible that Mrs. Capellan money is being used by Turbi for his self-agrandizing, self-idolizing ego with the help of our government authorities?
Is this the kind of investment climate we want to build in this country. Where else in the world do you see a jailed prisoner with a major criminal accusation giving out cash for prizes from his own jail cell and most of all to so called "national heroes" like the Pan Am medalists?
