Diario Libre
SANTO DOMINGO. The judge of the Sixth Court of Instruction of the National District, Clara Luz Almonte Gomez, ordered Eddy Brito sent to the Najayo Prison for three months of preventive custody. Brito has been implicated in the file of laundering money from drug trafficking together with his ex-wife Sobeida Felix Morel and the Puerto Rican Jose D. Figueroa Agosto, both fugitives.
Meanwhile, the prosecutors also included the real wife of Figueroa Agosto, Leavy Yadira Nin Batista and/or Fior Jansen Rodriguez, in the case file.
The District Attorney assured reporters that the fugitive Sobeida Felix Morel was associated with Figueroa Agosto and later brought in her husband Eddy Brito and, then the Puerto Rican's wife Nin Batista.
In order to come up with the prison order for Brito, the magistrate accepted a petition from the District Attorney Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, who requested a variance in the coercive measures against Brito which were a RD$3.0 million bail bond, travel restrictions and the obligatory presence at the Justice Department offices each month, where he was to report to the prosecutor in charge of the case.
The coercive measure imposed by Judge Almonte Gomez will last for three months. Immediately, Brito was taken to the jail at the Palace of Justice. The Prosecutor's office will order his transfer to Najayo shortly. The hearing on the coercive measures began after 10:00 a.m. and a little after 1:00 p.m. there was a recess, until a little after 3:30 p.m. when she handed down her decision.
Brito's lawyer, Luis Aybar, called the decision a bad precedent because it is the only time that a bail bond has been revoked by the Justice Department.
A complex case
The District Attorney, Alejandro Moscoso Segarra, asked for Judge Almonte Gomez to declare the case to be a complex one.
In a brief, he argued that the investigation has turned out to be much more complex due to the modus operandi, the multiple identities and multiple million dollar assets and a seemingly endless stream of actor that these criminal organizations generally employ.
He adds that at the present time there is evidence to the existence, no documented, that the accused possess other million dollar assets that the Prosecutor will prove and document in the course of the investigation.
Judge Almonte Gomez set the date for the appeal hearing to change the case identity to one of a complex case for 24 November.
Ion one of his arguments, Moscoso Segarra maintains that Sobeida Felix Morel and Eddy Brito have no way to justify the legal origin of the bank accounts and the financial transactions carried out by the pair.
He also said that the two had dedicated their efforts to converting, acquiring, possessing and using the assets that came from drug trafficking.
