Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito says that he will not agree to let those involved off the hook, referring to a police raid on a house in Sosua on 18 October 2012, where several agents and public prosecution officials are accused of involvement in the reported disappearance of RD$60 million, jewelry, gold bars and Rolex watches belonging to a group of Germans.
He said that he was at the final stage of an investigation to establish the implications for supposed members of the Public Prosecution office and the National Police.
He said that it seems that some officers committed serious mistakes, and that the Public Prosecution office’s position could not be swept under the carpet either.
He went on to say that they had to identify those responsible, and if it seems that some used the raid to make money, that cannot be allowed.
Meanwhile, the Public Prosecutor for Puerto Plata has announced that the investigations into the case are continuing.
Dominguez Brito says that two cases are under investigation. One involves the differences between groups of Germans themselves living and operating in the La Mulata III area of Sosua, and the other is the operation by the police and public prosecutors, where one German was killed and millions in assets went missing.
A group of Germans accuse Klaus Dieter Muller of planning the raid after paying lots of money to prosecutors, police and others.
