Santo Domingo.– The coercion measure hearing against the ten individuals implicated in the alleged electronic fraud that would have caused losses exceeding RD$200 million to the detriment of Banco BHD was recessed on Friday afternoon, after Judge Rigoberto Sena retired to deliberate before issuing his decision.
Previously, the defendants were transferred to the
Permanent Attention Office of the National District, located in the
Palace of Justice of Ciudad Nueva, where they face the corresponding judicial process under the custody of the authorities.
The
Public Ministry maintains the request for pre-trial detention against the accused, while investigations continue to determine the scope of the alleged structure linked to the case.
So far, ten people have been brought to justice for their alleged involvement in the case. Those linked include Francis Michael Laureano Marte, Juan Antonio Ureña Geraldo, Kaury Miguel Lazala Brazobán, Luis Miguel García Peña, Pedro Andrés García Pérez, Luis Guillermo García Faña, Elsa Sthefanya Sánchez Fernández, Pedro Reynaldo Bello Pérez, Julio Antonio García Faña and Jefry Leonardo Cepeda, identified by the authorities as the alleged leader of the network.
Authorities are seeking to establish the individual responsibilities of each of those involved in this case, which involves an alleged multi-million dollar electronic fraud scheme.
