Author Andres L. Mateo is now suing senator for San Juan de la Maguana and close associate of former President Leonel Fernandez, Felix Bautista for damages. Bautista recently chose to not include Mateo nor the publishing house in a suit against the authors of the book “The Dark Side of Sun Land”, written by economist Jaime Aristy, lawyer Alejandro Ayuso and writer Andres Mateo and published by Editora Buho SRL in the Dominican Republic. After the book was released in Florida, Bautista decided to sue the authors and the publishing house.
The Civil and Commercial Chamber of the Court of First Instance of the National District will hear the case.
Mateo is suing for RD$112 million in reparations for damages suffered as a result of the suit that had been placed in the United States and Spain.
He is also asking for the payment of the legal costs in which he incurred to defend himself in the case.
Felix Bautista and Sun Land Group are claiming damages for US$25 million.
The book was published in 2012 and was later released in Miami.
