Judges of the Second Penal Hall of the Supreme Court of Justice have confirmed the 18-year jail sentence imposed on Rafael Emilio Gonzalez Alvarez, accused of the murder of Guillermo Moncada in a row over a parking spot in a condominium in the upscale Santo Domingo area of Piantini. The family had opposed the sentence that was confirmed in the Court of Appeals of Santo Domingo on 17 January 2014.
The widow Juli Wellisch de Moncada and her children Gillermo Andres, Selma Isabel and Claudia Patricia sought to have the sentence anulled and a new trial held.
