The ruling Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) is backing Sergio “Gory” Moya for deputy for the 3rd voting district of the National District. He is mentioned in the accusatory file of the Calamar case that looks into crimes such as association of criminals, embezzlement, coalition of government officials, and money laundering.
The Listin Diario reports that the Calamar accusatory file mentions that the legislator, who is not listed as a defendant, replaced one of the defendants in the case, Fernando Crisóstomo Herrera, as the leader of an alleged network of illegal charges to lottery and sports banks.
According to prosecutors, Gory entered the network in August 2018, and remained in it until its termination in May 2020.
Likewise, prosecutors reported that the deputy worked alongside other defendants such as Frixo Messina Arvelo, the person in charge of operations at the Casinos and Gambling Agency, and the director of Casino and Gambling Agency, Julián Omar Fernández Figueroa, who “allowed all the facilities for the illegal collections project continued to function.”
However, the Public Ministry assured that after entering the network, Moya restructured the “project.”
The Listin Diario reports that under the new direction of the alleged network, the accused Víctor Roa was the one who received the money from the illegal charges, who subsequently gave it to Ramón Emilio Jiménez Collie, also known as “Mimilo”, continuing with the scheme of distributing money to the “collaborators” and bribery of officials of the Casinos and Gambling Agency of the Ministry of Hacienda.
Legislators in the Dominican Republic are under the jurisdiction of the judiciary. Their cases can only be heard by a Supreme Court of Justice judge.
