The District Attorney's office in Santo Domingo is preparing the return of 20% of the property that was taken from family members of former Army captain Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo, 18 of whom will begin their departure from the Dominican Republic on the 15th of January, 2009.
The value of the assets that will be returned to the relatives of the former military officer is as much as RD$200 million. Of all the assets seized in the province of Elias Pina, all, with the exception of one farm, will be returned to the family.
"Everything that is not seized will be returned" said Felix Damian Olivares, the attorney for the mother, the brother and a son of Quinino's.
He explained that "everything that had to do with Quirino" was taken from the rice mill, including a helicopter. An auto dealership was also taken from Quirilio Paulino Castillo, a brother of the extradited Quirino.
Olivares said that the former prosecutor for the National District, Jose Manuel Hernandez Peguero, has a mark in his favor, and that was to get the United States to concede its claims on the assets.
"Because, if you read the sentence that extradites Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo, you will see that the United States had a claim on up to seven million dollars, with relation to the criminal association, and the United States conceded this claim to the Dominican state" explained the lawyer for Quirino's mother and brother.
Regarding the departure overseas of the family members, he explained that as soon as a solution of the case against the wife of "el Don", Belkis Ubri Medrano, in the Second Chamber of the Penal Court of the Appeals Court for the National District is resolved, the family will begin to leave. The case is set to be heard on 15 January.
Meanwhile, yesterday, the First Collegiate Tribunal of the Court of the first Instance for the National District gave its arguments concerning the dismissal of the cases against Quirino's brother, Quirilio Paulino Castillo (a.k.a. Danilo), Zaira Castillo Ramirez (the mother), Anderson Paulino Ubri (a son), Luis Marmolejos Feliz, Felicita Consuelo Medrano Mercedes, Elba Feliz Matos, Ricardo Encarnacion Castillo and Diomaris Marmolejos, the mother of several children by the extradited Paulino Castillo.
The assets that were seized are four apartments located in the Bella Vista sector, a gasoline station located on Independencia Avenue, the hacienda Belkis Elizabeth, in Pedro Corto in San Juan de la Maguana-which has 3,376 tareas (approximately 210 hectares), as well as the installation of a milk farm and all the real estate on the farm, located in San Juan de la Maguana.

A residence on Max Henriquez Ureña, of the Los Prados sector and a warehouse in San Carlos were part of the seizures.

The 37.5% of the prices of the sale of rice and other products from the rice mill, deposited in open certificates and the money received from the auction of helicopter EC-130 also deposited in certificates.
The Prosecutor for the National District, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, set forth in his declaration that since an agreement had been reached, one that did not imply any sort of innocence regarding the charges, by virtue of the Vienna Convention and the Palermo Convention on Organized International Crime, and using the information provided by the Justice Department, "we understand that it was necessary to reach an agreement of the parties, by means of which it was established that the assets from money laundering would be seized."
