The Penal Chamber of the Court of Appeals will study a petition to revoke a court order returning the Cessna plane to its owner Rafael Alberto Pichardo Corominas, son of the vice president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Rafael Luciano Pichardo, according to Diario Libre. The Department of Customs seeks to revoke Resolution No. 127-2009 dated 23 June issued by the First Instruction Court of Santo Domingo. Customs director Rafael Camilo argues that interim judge Miguelina Campusano went beyond her jurisdiction because what was being heard was merely the conditional suspending of the process. He says that the airplane, that was confiscated on 30 April 2008, had been donated to the Dominican Air Force on 5 August, and therefore there is an error in the application of the court decision.
Rafael Alberto Luciano Corominas was arrested on Wednesday evening at Las Americas International Airport after US$569,000 in undeclared cash was discovered on board a small airplane of his property that had flown in from Aguadillas, Puerto Rico.
