SANTO DOMINGO. The District Attorney for the National District, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, revealed that the assets seized that had come from the criminal activities attributed to the alleged network tied in the country with the Puerto Rican capo Jose David Figueroa Agosto add up to more than RD$500 million.
He added that during the trial that is going on with the group of persons in the First Collegiate Tribunal of the Penal Chamber of the Court of First Instance of the National District the authorities will request that the assets be confiscated.
He commented that the assets of more than US$100 million and said to belong to Figueroa Agosto are being seized in Puerto Rico.
"Those (assets) that we have identified in the Dominican Republic have been seized and we are asking for the confiscation, this is one of the requests that the Justice Department will make when the time comes," he explained.
The official noted that the Justice Department has not considered making a request of confiscation in Puerto Rico, or do they know anything about formal request by the United States in this matter.
Nevertheless, Moscoso Segarra said that the Vienna Convention allows the Dominican Republic and the United States to make a joint request regarding the seizure and confiscation of assets that come from criminal activities.
The embargoes
The outrage that many unscrupulous people dedicate themselves to filing embargoes and evictions outside of any legal context was the reason given by the District Attorney who warned against these actions without the authorization of the National Police and the Justice Department.
Moscoso Segarra noted that members of the Police, the military, lawyers, bailiffs do carry out these practices, about which he is seeking greater controls. "For example, a person was embargoed for a sum of RD$100,000 in a labor dispute, and what was seized was worth more than a million pesos."
Within this context, he said that the assets that were above the sum (RD$100,000) were taken during the execution of the embargo. He warned that any person can complain if they are subject to an embargo without authorization of the National Police and the Justice Department.
