Senator Alejandro Williams (PLD-San Pedro de Macoris) is denying media reports that the US authorities are investigating him for Medicaid fraud and tax evasion. Williams, who also works as a dentist in the Bronx, New York, says that his office has paid all of its taxes. Hoy writes that the Senator made a "surprise" visit to the Senate yesterday, and gave local newspapers a day to retract the story, claiming he has been defamed and that the accusations are politically motivated. Williams declared that opponents want to "hijack" his Senate seat.
The Williams case has hit a nerve in recent days, especially in San Pedro de Macoris, his native community, where residents have complained to the press that Williams spends most of his time practicing dentistry in NY instead of fulfilling his political duties at home. Williams is among senators with the most absences.
