Former Bani prosecutor Victor Cordero, accused by Bani Senator Wilton Guerrero of complicity with drug traffickers in the province of Peravia is out on one million peso bail after being accused of prevarication and of appropriating half a million pesos that Major League baseball player Julio Cesar Mateo had supposedly given him as an economic guarantee when he was on the job, as reported in Hoy. He is now banned from leaving the country and has to present himself periodically before the prosecutors of his case. The San Cristobal assistant prosecutor had requested a preventive jail sentence in the case. Cordero is accused of prevarication and illegal retention of funds, in violation of articles 166, 167, 169, 170, 171 and 172 of the Penal Code and for failing to deposit RD$500,000 that the baseball player had given him as deposit on 24 November 2006 for aggression against his wife Santa Aurea Martinez in the Banco Agricola. The commission that investigated the case was made up of assistant prosecutors Rodolfo Espineira and Giselle Cueto and general prosecutor of the Court of Appeals of San Cristobal, Jesus Fernandez Velez. Cordero was investigated after Senator Wilton Guerrero accused him of having ties with drug trafficking in the area, after the murder of six drug dealers in Paya, Bani.
