After 14 years of hearings, the former director of the Corporacion Dominicana de Empresas Estatales and of the Compañía Dominicana de Aviacion during the Salvador Jorge Blanco PRD government were absolved from charges. They had been accused in 1986 by then Attorney General Julio Cesar Castaños Espaillat of fraud against the state regarding RD$5 million for the acquisition of aircraft and alleged overvaluing of the new CDA office building.
