Family members of former army captain Quirino Ernesto Paulino Castillo began their exodus from the Dominican Republic after money-laundering charges against them were dropped. They are being protected under the US Federal Witness Protection Program
Diosmaris Marmolejos Feliz and her four children by the extradited former officer left for the United States yesterday.
Meanwhile, the seven Marmolejos brothers are awaiting the return of their passports in order to leave the country.
Their departure comes after they filed a complaint to the District Attorney for the National District against a car dealer that seized a luxury BMW belonging to Marmolejos.
According to Diario Libre, assistant prosecutor Catalina Arriaga delayed the process until the 20th of this month in order for the car dealer to prepare his defense.
Marmolejos Feliz's lawyer Dorca Medina said that the prosecutor's office handed over RD$40 million in cash that belonged to the Quirino family and will begin to ask the people who are occupying the farms and other properties to get out and hand over the assets.
The lawyer said that the state institutions and non-governmental organizations that are currently occupying the properties will be sent notifications to leave. Marmolejos Feliz is calling for the return of five residences and a farm in the Paya section of Peravia province. The other assets are located on Abraham Lincoln Avenue in the Quisqueya neighborhood of Santo Domingo, another in the Fernandez residential area, a lot with a gasoline station on Charles Sumner Street in Los Prados, and others.
Lawyer Medina also requested the return of a herd of cows, which she says are in Bonao. She said that she is preparing the documents necessary to oblige anyone who has assets belonging to Quirino or his family to return them, or face the consequences.
She said, "We are going to notify the sentence emitted by the First Collegiate Tribunal of the Court of the First Instance for the National District that has the list of the assets that will stay under state control." Medina warned that the assets that are being required now, as part of the returns that have to be made, have been placed in the hands of third parties that are being pressed to return them. She claims that the authorities are in possession of 21 properties that are part of the assets that were returned after the withdrawal of the charges on money laundering assets of more than RD$400,000,000 against Quirino's family.
