Attorney General Victor C?spedes Mart?nez authorized the
release of businessman Luis Alvarez Renta, known as the country?s leading
dealmaker, allowing him to go free while the Baninter trail takes place. He will
be required to attend the trial as needed. Alvarez Renta was released ?for
humanitarian reasons?, citing his frail health. He had earlier been released
from his cell at the Palacio de Justicia Ciudad Nueva and instead was being held
at the nearby Abreu Clinic.
