Santo Domingo.- The urban artist Toxic Crow used his social media to offer his version regarding a Prosecutor’s Office operation that took place on May 8, 2025, at one of his businesses, and concerning the accusation against him for the alleged illicit theft of electrical energy valued at over RD$1.6 million.
n” “nAccording to information from the Public Ministry, the Adjunct Attorney General for the Electrical System (PGASE) filed with the Instruction Court of Santo Domingo East the formal accusation and the request for the opening of a trial against a company and four individuals for the case.
n” “nIn the video, Toxic Crow recounted that on May 8, 2025, a large-scale operation by the Prosecutor’s Office took place at his premises.
n” “n“They came at me with more than seven little cars from the Prosecutor’s Office (…) They were at the business for 12 hours checking everything,” he declared. According to him, the procedure was led by magistrate Marta Florentino.
n” “nThe artist explained that the intervention was due to the establishment’s electricity meter, which he claimed was not in his name.
n” “n“I had had that business for three months, three months since I acquired that business. An accountant who didn’t have my name, whom I found there,” he maintained.

n” “nHe detailed that the establishment operates as a hair salon, nail salon, and tattoo studio. “There are three air conditioners, like 18 fans. For electricity, I pay from 40 thousand to 52 thousand.”
n” “nFollowing the raid, he indicated that the authorities took the accountant and summoned them for May 14, a date he attended along with his lawyers and his partner, Marco Lauri.
n” “n“He tells me: ‘I don’t know, they have a fraud here. I’m going to prove it to them, one way or another'”, he narrated.
n” “nBeyond the court case, Toxic Crow linked the accusation to his public criticisms.
n” “n“Today I am an enemy because I speak the truth, I have nothing personal,” he expressed. He recalled his participation in the Plaza de la Bandera in 2020. “I was one of those who killed myself in the Plaza de la Bandera fighting because I defend my country.”
n” “nThe artist also denounced what he considers pressure against businessmen and figures who express their opinions.
n” “n“I am watching the news today… so that you can see how people here want, by force, to put a gag on one, because of one’s rights. Because they hate business owners here,” he stated.
n” “n“I don’t have anything personal. I am affected by the things that are happening,” he concluded.
