The Office of the District Attorney for the National District brought in some 25,000 pieces of evidence to the First Collegiate Court of the National District with which they intend to establish the participation of each of the indicted on charges of fraud for some RD $1.4 billion committed at the Banco Peravia.
The newly appointed National District Attorney Rosalba Ramos took charge of the case last week for the Justice Department. The interviewing of the witnesses from both the public sector and private sector would continue. More than 100 witnesses have been presented by the Justice Department and so far only 13 have appeared in court.
