Just so we all have balanced information, I was able to speak with Udo, one of the accused. This is what he told me.
First, he was accused, not arrested. Secondly, the journalist writing the quoted article initiated the claim against the parties involved and will be the beneficiary. Third, the journalist tried to blackmail Udo and the other accused individuals. Fourth, the events happened in 1993. That was prior to the time Udo became involved with these properties. When Udo bought into these properties, he says that he checked the titles. They were declared free and clear. Now, after more than 20 years, the titles are declared not authentic.
We all know that journalism in the DR often falls short of objectivity. Before condemning the accused, I believe we should consider the source of the information and realize that it may not necessarily be true or complete.

dominicans, on the other hand, are very traditional and prefer good old fashioned robbery or murder, with a pinch of extortion. different skills call for different work ethics, so to speak.
