Diario Libre focuses on a recent court sentence that ruled in the favor of allotting lands in the National Park of the East to a group of Spanish investors. The newspaper comments that one of the investors is Carlos Sanchez Hernandez, a partner in Compania de Inversiones Trubia, which benefited from the ruling by the Higher Land Court's Central Department. The court ordered the property registration of 3.4 million square meters located in Higuey in an area that the state claims is part of a protected area, the National Park of the East. Another partner in the company, Daniel Antonio Minaya Rodriguez, also in the companies Trubia and Tecnicas Electricas de Desarrollo Integral, which were allotted the land, is a retired Dominican Municipal League official who does not have the financial resources to own a multi-million dollar property.
Government lawyer Fermin Casilla Minaya told Diario Libre that Trubia was created with RD$2,500 in paid capital and RD$25,000 in social capital. He insists that Carlos Sanchez is the owner of Inversiones Trubia. Carlos Sanchez, along with another 60 individuals, made press headlines for his involvement in the alleged fiscal fraud against the tax department in Spain for EUR4.8 million. The case is known as the Marbella Case. In the DR, Trubia is presided by Ignacio Coronado Ruiz and Andres Lietor Martinez.
Casilla Minaya said that the contract that the court validated was for US$19.9 million, and that Daniel Antonio Minaya Rodriguez is just a front for the company.
Casilla Minaya said that the court ignored the Ministry of Environment's clearly stated opinion that the lot is part of the National Park of the East protected area.
Supreme Court president Jorge Subero Isa said that if there was a violation of the law in case of the National Park of the East territory, the Third Chamber of the court could be convened.
