Hubieres arrested, released

[NewsWhore]

Fenatrano transport union leader Juan Hubieres was arrested yesterday and jailed for an hour and a half. Hubieres was released after judge Alejandro Vargas ruled that his imprisonment had been illegal. Hubieres was imprisoned after allegations that he had improperly used millions of pesos of funds from the Ground Transport Development Fund, which is funded by dues from Fenatrano members. A ten-hour interrogation yielded no concrete evidence, only circumstantial evidence. Hubieres was jailed on that evidence, but the decision was then reversed. Quoted in Hoy, Hubieres stated that it was ridiculous to accuse Fenatrano of owing the government RD$6 million when the government owed Fenatrano RD$60 million.
