Finjus calls for appeal in Bautista and mayor cases

The Foundation for Institutionalism and Justice (Finjus) is calling on Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito to appeal the dismissal of charges against Senator Felix Bautista and the Mayor of San Francisco de Macoris, Felix Manuel Rodriguez, to give the legal system another chance to ensure that justice is done with no fear of pressure of favoritism from political interests.

They warned that the Supreme Court should guarantee the credibility and impartiality of its decisions and if not, then they would be adding to the already existing crisis of confidence in the legal system as shown in recent opinion polls.

Commenting on the Bautista case, they questioned why the Supreme Court had allowed Judge Moscoso Segarra to be in charge of the case when it was known he had clear links to the accused.
