    Nightmare in Sosua

    Check this thread on DR1

    http://www.dr1.com/forums/north-coas...orruption.html

    I don't know if it's 100% true but if it is it's kind of scary, 4-5 days in jail...

    The story sounds a little contrived but it definitely got my attention.

    Yes, in the first post he said he was walking alone on PClisante and in a later post he said he was sitting alone and smoking a cigar when it hapened.

    We'll see as the thread develop, if they (DR1) don't delete it, as they sometime do...

    I doubt the story also. Perhaps he was in jail, but I'll wait for Paul Harvey to "tell me the rest of the story".

    Why wouldn't the wife contact the consulate immediately.

    I also think that there is "more" to the original story.


    Let's wait and see....

    I don't think the story is entirely true either, but if the "lawyers" double teamed her in the car.....it may have been possible to confuse her about her options.

    cuz the dominicans are such honest people! something like this would "never" happen... yeah right!!! i know the amounts are high but todally believeable... times are tough right now.... i heard that the cops are going around with some "amnesty program" for back taxes... so you got to kick up .. and if ya dont they come in and do a anal exam where you'd pay much more... apparently the money is goin to re-elect the prez... whatz his name...? and this i know first hand.... so maybe that helps ya believe the other story...

    "I was walking alone on the street at 10pm, and a "cop" stopped me and demanded that I pay him 5000 pesos."

    "I was on Pedro clisante, sitting on a plastic chair at a closed open air restaurant, smoking my cigar by myself."
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    2 different scenarios
    _____________________________________________________________

    "...a "cop" stopped me and demanded that I pay him 5000 pesos. He was on a moto concho, with no uniform or anything. He just had a card in his wallet that said he was Policia.

    "When I refused, he took me to jail in Sosua."
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    how did the cop take him to jail? on a motochoncho? or did this guy just quietly and willing walk with the cop over to Sosua jail?
    ____________________________________________________________

    "Once she paid the lawyers the money outside the prison, the lawyer yelled out the window of his car, accross the street to the guard at the prison to "let the gringo go now"."

    "I watched these corrupt lawyers divy up my money to the judge, guards, other lawyers."
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    was the lawyer in his car or inside the jail, where he watched him divide the money with the others?
    _____________________________________________________________

    "In jail, I was beaten, starved, denied water, thrown **** at, faught with, denied phone calls...you name it."

    "The lawyers told me if I paid them $6000US, then I could go home, or else I was going to prison for my "crime" ...but we don't have that kind of money."

    "My wife had to pay a fine of $500 to the court, and had to pay the lawyers $2000 to get me out."
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    if it was that bad for him being in jail why didn't his wife pay the money sooner, and not wait 3 day? they didn't have the $6000 but had $2500 3 days later? what kinda person can't come up with 6K to get themselves outta situation as bad as the one he described?
    _____________________________________________________________


    "I just got out of prison yesterday at 2pm, and other than this situation, we really like it here."
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    after spending 3 horrible days in jail, where he was beaten, starved and denied water, he still likes it here?
    ____________________________________________________________



    something like this definitely could happen in DR, but his story has a few holes in it, and any half-decent attorney would break this guy on cross-examination.

    It could have been paid by the ministry of tourism of jamaica or another destination to discourage people going there in vacation.

    I agree. Just don't go with him. It's just you and him on a dark street. Do what you must to subdue him. He's not in uniform or anything. Make HIM pay, financially and physically.

    I would never go to the police station without a UNIFORMED police officer. If I felt I was wrongly accused id call the US Embassy to request their recommendation for a lawyer. I don't see how this scenario would float very well with those prices anyhow.

    I do hope that the matter is looked into as the names of the lawyers were posted. I would be quite curious to know how this turns out.

    exactly!!! especially a female...we all know how intimidating dominican men can be towards females. maybe the husband and wife were just confused and scared in the begining, not thinking about consualtes, embassys and what not...first instinct is to remove myself from this sticky situation, so lets try paying them off first if that doesnt work then we'll...do the embassy, consulate thing

    That thought crossed my mind too. I have heard of Jamaica doing that before.

    Re: Nightmare in Sosua

    Some of the details may be exagerated, foggy or embellished a little but you just don't make shit like this up. The victim was a victim even before he got victimized. Some guy on a fucking scooter (alone, not in uniform?) tells me to pay him a bunch of money is going to get treated like a mugger and when he wakes the fuck up I'll be on the next thing smoking outadere. What's the worst that can happen, getting sent to jail? If I'm going to bribe my way out of jail, I could at least take the time to fuck something up first.

    I don't trust cops here and they're relatively rich in comparison with Dominican cops. People who don't understand the entrepreneurial nature of 3rd world law enforcement (and military) should stay the fuck home or travel in packs too large to fuck with.

    Pure bullshit. 5 post count. All about Corruption. Looks like Escott wants everyone to move to Cabrera and buy his bankrupt villas.
