Bismar Medina, 29, turned himself in voluntarily to the National Police after authorities sought him out in connection with a case involving a bank transfer of approximately RD$725,000 that he allegedly received by mistake and subsequently used.

The case gained notoriety on social media after Medina recounted in an interview how he found out about the deposit and what he did with the money, despite acknowledging that it did not belong to him.

According to his version, he was resting at his home when he received a bank notification about the arrival of the funds, between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning. He stated that he informed his wife and waited about two hours to see if anyone would contact him to claim the sum.

However, the money ended up being used to cover financial commitments and make personal expenses, according to the statements he provided.

Following the dissemination of the case and the search by the authorities, Medina decided to turn himself in to the National Police.

The case has generated reactions on social media regarding the responsibility of those who receive bank transfers by mistake and the consequences of disposing of funds that do not belong to them.
