The National Consumer Rights Protection Institute (Proconsumidor) reported yesterday that PriceSmart Dominicana, Inversiones Manuel Cabrera, the Technohelp Company and three other businesses have been convicted of selling defective articles and services, as well as overvalued phone cards. Proconsumidor executive director Altagracia Paulino said that the businesses would pay RD$395,000, the equivalent of 67 minimum salaries and compensation to the clients.
PriceSmart Dominicana was sentenced to pay 20 minimum salaries, as was Manuel Cabrera, and Technohelp had to pay RD$15,000, or three minimum salaries. Justice Department representative Yvelia Batista reported that her department has not lost a single case, and this should bolster consumer confidence to come forward with their complaints and file them at the local prosecutor's office or at Proconsumidor.
