The president of the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (Indotel) said that companies that activate stolen cell phones phase penalties of 1.5 to 15 million pesos, as reported in the Listin Diario. He urged that those who have been victims of stolen mobile phones report the theft to Indotel, the company where they bought the phone or the corresponding district attorney office.
