The National District Prosecution Service presented a complaint against Odebrecht commercial representative in the Dominican Republic Ángel Rondón and Francisco Rodríguez, the former director of the National Water Institute (INDRHI) for supposed extortion and fraud. Lawyers Plutarco Jáquez and Benita de la Rosa filed the complaint representing Félix Radhamés Batista Matos, who alleges he has been the victim of fraud of RD$5 million by the two accused.
His lawyer said that he signed a contract in 2006 with Indrhi and of the RD$9 million he was owed, Ángel Rondón and Francisco Rodríguez promised to pay him. However they only paid two million pesos each and kept RD$5 million for themselves.
Ángel Rondón is in pre-trial custody at Najayo Jail accused in the Odebrecht bribe case.
