While PRD president Miguel Vargas Maldonado has promised to act with true justice in the Romero case, other deputies want the deputy to resign his parliamentary immunity now. Meanwhile, National District prosecutor Alejandro Moscoso Segarra has told Hoy newspaper that he will go ahead with the case that links the unsavory deputy to two alleged micro-drug traffic capos in Santo Domingo East, Manuel Emilio Mesa Beltre, a.k.a. El Gringo, and Rafael Cordero Martinez, a.k.a. El Chino.
Romero, of course, denies any connection with the two.
A file on Romero involving accusations of money laundering had been shelved on the recommendations of the justice department to the Fourth Court of Instruction for the National District due to insufficient evidence.
The PRD Political Commission will meet next week to discuss the case and the report filed by the legal commission on the cases involving Deputy Romero.
In reponse to a newspaper account of a meeting between El Gringo and the deputy in 2007, PRD leader Vargas Maldonado said, "all these things can also be interpreted as part of the process in which we are living at this time, but we are going to act with justice and in accordance with ethics and morality".
