Judge Francisco Ortega in charge of hearing the case of Dominican government officers and affiliates accused of taking bribes to pass Odebrecht construction work in the country accepted the postponing of the hearings for another four months through 9 June 2018. This is in response to a request from the Attorney General Office for more time for its investigations.
The Attorney General has accused 14 Dominicans in the case, but all have been awarded privileged pre-trial custody measures, with none obliged to remain in jail. The accused are: Juan Temístocles Montás, Tommy Alberto Galán Grullón, Julio César Valentín, Alfredo Pacheco, Ángel Rondón, Víctor Díaz Rúa, Cesar Sánchez, Radhamés Segura, Roberto Rodríguez, Andrés Bautista, Ruddy González, Bernardo Castellanos de Moya, Máximo D’Oleo and Conrado Pittaluga.
