The Attorney General Department will file charges against 39 false council members appearing on the list submitted by the Dominican Municipal League (LMD) as having obtained official passports irregularly, according to assistant AG Frank Soto. Diario Libre reports that the individuals are being tracked down to find out whether they are in the country. Soto has asked the Migration Department to determine whether 35 of the 39 impostors were able to leave the country. He insisted that the evidence has been found at the LMD and the Migration Department against Amaury Guzman and Victor Soto but nobody from the Ministry of Foreign Relations has been processed because they have not yet found any evidence.
Listin Diario reports that the AG department will request that the case be classified as complex and that a six-month extension be awarded to allow for a complete investigation. A hearing is scheduled for today in the Fourth Court of Instruction of the National District, against Felix Julian Estrella, the council member who returned from Genoa. The AG department will request coercion measures that include payment of bail, reports to the department twice a month, exit restrictions and the confiscation of his travel documents.
