The Central Electoral Board (JCE) has filed charges before the District Attorney of the National District against William Medina Ferreras, who is accused of using his fake identification card (cedula) to vote in the 2002, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 elections, as reported in Diario Libre. Medina Ferreras benefited from the 22 October 2014 ruling by the Inter-American Human Rights Court of the Organization of American States.
The Haitian immigrant who sued the country before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and that the JCE accused of basing his arguments on false documents in order to support his claim to Dominican nationality, used this fraudulent identity in order to declare the birth of three people and vote in five of the last elections. When he was asked for the names of his relatives in court he mentioned Argentina, Chocolate and Cocoa as his alleged siblings. But the JCE interviewed the brothers and sisters who denied that William Medina had been born to either the same mother or father.
