The Supreme Court of Justice ordered that the Listin Diario be returned to its former proprietors prior to the government intervention. Ramon Baez Romano called the decision a “transcendental act for the history of freedom of the press and business in the Dominican Republic.” Following the change of government, the Central Bank, which took control of the Listin Diario as one of the assets seized following the collapse of the Baninter financial group, appointed Osvaldo Santana, who in the past has overseen several newspapers of the former Baninter media group, as executive editor of the newspaper. As reported in the Listin Diario, Ramon Baez Romana confirmed the possibility of reopening Ultima Hora, the newsmagazine that was shut down on 6 June for financial problems. Baez Romana is the father of Ramon Baez Figueroa, whom the government accused of fraudulent operations at Baninter.
