Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez has announced the appointment of an investigative commission, describing the charges filed by three female journalists against Senator Alejandro Williams (PLD-San Pedro de Macoris) as "very serious". He announced the creation of the commission that will be investigating the case at the request of the Dominican College of Journalists, whose president Mercedes Castillo visited the Senate head yesterday to relay the journalist's complaint. Diario Libre says the commission will hear the version of journalists Maria Isabel Soldevila, from Listin Diario, Margarita Cordero from 7dias.com.do, and Norma Sheppard, the San Pedro de Macoris correspondent for Radio Mil Informando, who were visited by two men posing as detectives working for Medicaid, from the United States to investigate the alleged fraud by the senator. "We are waiting for the senator to get back, because he is out of the country, so that he can give us an explanation and face this complaint that has forced us to launch an investigation, so that questions are asked, because this complaint that has been made is very serious and if it is proven, we cannot tolerate it," said Pared Perez.
