Preventive prison requested against motorcyclist accused of assaulting TRAE driver in Santo Domingo Oeste

Santo Domingo.– The Public Ministry requested preventive detention, as a coercive measure, against a motorcyclist accused of physically and verbally assaulting a driver of the Student Transportation System (TRAE), in an incident that occurred in the El Café de Herrera sector, Santo Domingo Oeste municipality. The defendant, identified as Gregori Gelabert González, alias “Negro Malo,” is accused of having attacked the school bus driver Henry Yubane Arias González, after an alleged traffic incident recorded in the morning, while the vehicle was transporting students to an educational center. According to the request for a coercive measure, the event originated after a slight contact between a motorcycle and the school transport unit, which would have triggered an argument that escalated to physical aggression. The file states that the defendant allegedly hit the driver, causing contusions on his face, and that he also assaulted the vehicle’s assistant, who tried to intervene during the altercation. It is also indicated that a third person was affected when trying to record what happened.

During the incident, three students who were inside the school bus reportedly panicked, even getting off the unit to take shelter, according to the court document. The Public Ministry maintains that the actions of the accused were recorded in the bus’s video surveillance systems, material that will be sent to the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (Inacif) for analysis as part of the investigation process. The prosecuting body provisionally charges Gelabert González with violating Article 309 of the Dominican Penal Code and Article 396 of Law 136-03, which protects the rights of children and adolescents. The knowledge of the coercion measure was scheduled for this Monday at noon, where the Public Ministry will present the elements that support the request for preventive detention against the accused.
