The director of the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (Indotel) Jose Rafael Vargas says that his department and the Police will take drastic action against any business caught illegally activating stolen cell phones. Vargas said that his department and the Police would shut down these businesses. He said that all their equipment would be confiscated, and that they would be not flexibility in the measure, as reported in El Caribe. The law, nevertheless, only establishes penalties of three months to one year in jail and fines of 3 to 500 times the minimum wage.
Police spokesman Nelson Rosario told El Caribe that he was surprised that the problem still persisted, as denounced by Nilson Pichardo Peralta, president of the Association of Cell Phone Store Owners.
