V\u00e1squez himself is the new addition to the Brazilian construction company case.<\/p>\n<p>The Attorney General Jean Alain Rodr\u00edguez announced on Thursday, 7 June 2018, that in the case filed with the Supreme Court of Justice on the bribes taken by Dominican government officers and associates for Odebrecht contract work seven persons are being formally incriminated. These included six in the previous accusations and V\u00e1squez.<\/p>\n<p>V\u00e1squez also observed it was strange that one of the members of the Political Committee of the PLD who was removed from the case had publicly admitted receiving funds from Odebrecht for three presidential campaigns. He was referring to former Economy Minister Tem\u00edstocles Mont\u00e1s, who is now excluded from the case.<\/p>\n<p>V\u00e1squez Mart\u00ednez pointed out that under PLD governments 95% of the contracts were signed with the Brazilian construction company. He said he is ready to defend his innocence.<\/p>\n<p>He was senator for the province of northeastern Mar\u00eda Trinidad S\u00e1nchez from 1994 to 2010.
