Odebrecht has seven projects under construction in the Dominican Republic. El Dia reports that the company government contractor permit (RPE) was suspended last year.<\/p>\n

The company, whose officials admitted in a New York Court in December 2016 to having paid US$92 million in bribes to Dominican officers to expedite the contracting, has contracts open for the construction of the Ecovia in Santiago, the Hermanas Mirabal aqueduct, the Cibao-Sur highway, the Corredor Duarte II and the ports of Samana and Sabana de la Mar. The projects are from 60 to 95% complete, according to Odebrecht documents, as reported by El Dia.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Gonzalo Castillo Public Works Minister said in January that the projects were paralysed after the suspension of the RPE.<\/p>\n

As reported in El Dia, Odebrecht has appointed a new director Marcelo Hofke and says that the company is working with absolute transparency in its operations.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General Office (PGR) announced Odebrecht had paid US$30 million as part of the deal signed with the PGR that impedes the Dominican state from suing Odebrecht. Odebrecht has sued the Dominican government in a US court for an additional US$750 million to complete the Punta Catalina power central, a reportedly turn-key operation.<\/p>\n
