Santo Domingo.– Judge Rigoberto Sena, of the Judicial Office of Permanent Attention Services of the National District, imposed 18 months of preventive prison and house arrest as coercive measures against the accused in the case of alleged administrative corruption involving the National Health Insurance (SeNaSa).
By his decision, the magistrate ordered 18 months of preventive prison for Santiago Marcelo F. Hazim Albainy, former director of SeNaSa; Gustavo Enrique Messina Cruz; Francisco Iván Minaya Pérez; Germán Rafael Robles Quiñones; Rafael Luis Martínez Hazim; Ada Ledesma Ubiera and Ramón Alan Speakler Mateo, who must serve the measure in the Najayo Correction and Rehabilitation Center.
Meanwhile, the judge imposed house arrest on Cinty Acosta Sención and Eduardo Read Estrella, who will face the process under this modality, in accordance with the provisions of the judicial resolution.
Judge Sena partially granted the Public Prosecutor’s request, who had requested preventive detention for all the accused, arguing the seriousness of the events, the alleged economic damage to the State, and the existence of procedural risks.
The decision was made after several hours of waiting at the Ciudad Nueva Courthouse, where citizens gathered around the judicial precinct to demand that the process be conducted with transparency and without privileges.
