The presidential pre-candidate of the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) on Tuesday, 4 June 2019, urged the Attorney General of the Republic, Jean Alain Rodriguez, to demonstrate his responsibility and political will by creating an independent commission. The commission would be composed of representatives of the Attorney General’s Office, civil society, honorable jurists and international security specialists, and would audit of the enforcement of sentences by those convicted, acts of release from prison, and the fate of bodies of crime received by the Public Ministry, such as real and personal property and cash.
The proposal was made during a press conference by Roberto Fulcar, general coordinator of Abinader’s political team, who responded to the Attorney General’s summons to the presidential candidate to present evidence on inmates who were out of jail despite not having served their sentences.
Fulcar accused the judicial and prison officials of cooperation with the criminals. He considered it an audacity of the Attorney General to request evidence on the allegations that criminal mafias and officials in charge of their surveillance facilitate their exit from prisons and that these once on the streets continue committing misdeeds.
Fulcar then presented a sequence of examples to the Attorney General, to back statements of complicity in government with the criminals.
When responding to Abinader’s accusations, Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez called for the pre-candidate to present “the evidence” to his claims.
