The Prosecutors Office for the province of Santo Domingo operates with only 70 of the 213 prosecutors needed for serving a population that now totals over 2.5 million. Nevertheless, according to the chief prosecutor Olga Dina Llaverias, the shortage of prosecutors does not keep her office from working to provide protection for the citizens. Dina Llaverias took part in the weekly luncheon meeting sponsored by El Caribe Multimedia, where she was interviewed by Osvaldo Santana and other reporters. The chief prosecutor for the province of Santo Domingo said that despite precarious conditions when it comes to salaries, healthcare and life insurance, a team of prosecutors continue to serve the people as they deal with homicide, drug trafficking, robberies and other violent crimes, as reported in El Nuevo Diario.
