Spokespeople for the Marcha Verde (Green March Movement) called for the Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez to follow through with his announced commitment to deliver on the deal made with Odebrecht.

“The deadline expired and the citizenship needs to know whether or not there was compliance, because if Odebrecht did not provide the means of proof, the description of the financial structure used for its illegal operations, then that agreement must be annulled and prosecution begun of the construction company and its political and business allies in country,” said the organization that fights government corruption and judicial impunity.

The movement requested that Rodríguez provide an explanation of the latest findings of the investigation following the signing of the collaboration agreement that stipulated the Dominican Republic officials could have access to definitive proof of business leaders and politicians who may have received bribes in the Dominican Republic to facilitate Odebrecht’s winning of contracts for public works.

The Green March Movement leaders say that the prosecutors are obligated to report to the public and follow-up on the results achieved during the period. The spokesmen for the group said that so far the information provided by the Attorney General is not relevant to the agreement.
