National District Prosecutor Yeni Berenice Reynoso has asked for one year’s remand in jail for the manager of Dream Casino Corporation, Antonio Carbone, who is accused of attempted murder of the company’s administrator, lawyer Fernando Arturo Baez Guerrero.
Carbone is in detention at the Palace of Justice in Santo Domingo. The remand hearing will be held today, Wednesday 28 or tomorrow, Thursday 29 January 2015 and Reynoso maintains that Antonio Carbone and his brother, Francesco Carbone, threatened to kill Baez Guerrero on several occasions and met with Andres Khan and Juan Isidro Infante Sepulveda to carry out the deed.
The prosecutor said that this type of crime is not usual in the country as it is typical of organized crime gangs, saying that they were worse than drug gangs as they were like the mafia with their own structures that challenge the very security of a country, just as used to happen in Italy.
She went on to say that the Carbone brothers had chosen two people to murder Baez Guerrero, and they had gone to Baez Guerrero’s home in Los Cacicazgos area of Santo Domingo last month. Once they arrived they followed Baez Guerrero in his Jaguar car, and threw a firebomb into his vehicle, which set it on fire. Baez Guerrero called 911 but by the time the authorities arrived, the car was totally destroyed.
