Hotoniel Bonilla, a deputy attorney general and head of the anti-corruption unit, has resigned. In his resignation letter to President Danilo Medina, the long-serving head of the National Directorate for the Pursuit of Administrative Corruption said that he would step down on 27 February, as reported in Listin Diario. The head of the DPCA (previously Depreco) has been in the post since 2009 when Radhames Jimenez Pena was Attorney General. He said that as he has served ten years in public office, now was the time to pursue other avenues. Shortly after Francisco Dominguez Brito took over as Attorney General, he announced that he would ask the Supreme Court to reopen a case against Felix Bautista, which Bonilla had ordered filed away.
The most famous cases Hotoniel Bonilla worked on during his years at Depreco and DPCA include the Sovereign Bonds, the Dominican Air Force turbines, Jose Luis Malkum’s IOU at the Central Bank, the irregularities in the Teachers Medical Insurance (Segma) funds and the case of complaints against Hector Rodriguez Pimentel at INDRHI. As far as the public knows there have been no convictions in any of these cases.
