Clave newspaper, in its last issue, publishes new details on the investigation into the Atiemar Tower money laundering case against Spanish businessman Arturo del Tiempo Marques. Del Tiempo Marques, who was arrested in Spain, has been accused of smuggling 1,211 kilos of cocaine in shipments of construction materials from the DR. The case against Del Tiempo includes investigations into the finances of the purchasers of 15 of the luxury apartments at the Atiemar Tower. The tower was confiscated after Del Tiempo was arrested.
According to Clave's sources, the list of apartments being investigated by the authorities includes 19E purchased by Ada Rivera, 13W and 13E in the name of Macao Investments Corp represented by Francisco Saez, 21W, 22W and 11E in the names of Hector Cabral and Estela Milagros Cabral, and 10E by Jean Mellik Issa represented by lawyer Mayra Tavarez.
They go on to list 19W in the name of Zeobeida Rodriguez Bautista, 17E of Itzhak Peschach, 16E in the name of Jangle Marco Antonio Vasquez Rodriguez, 20E purchased by Macedonia Business Corp represented by General Rafael Guillermo Guzman Acosta, 12E of Luis Martinez Toro, 21E of Bidgood Development S.A., 15W of Juan Rafael Peralta Arias, 14E, Promax Financial Corp, represented by Aura Peralta Arias.
In March, District prosecutor Alejandro Mosco promised the press he would reveal the names of the people who had bought apartments in the tower located on Mexico Avenue. He has yet to do so.
Recently, Colombian German Eduardo Duque Garcia was released on bail. According to accusations made by the District prosecutors he was "openly" dedicated to drug trafficking and money laundering in the DR. The district prosecutors had said he was a partner of Del Tiempo. His ID 7900704 identified him as a member of the Colombian military reserves. The high-rise luxury apartment building was financed with a US$13 million loan from the governmental Banco de Reservas.
Clave says the authorities have questioned engineer Christian Michael Bonnet Pichardo, owner of the lot at Km 15 on Duarte Highway where container GSTU9464219 was stored. It was loaded with marble when it was confiscated in the Spanish port of Valencia on 25 February 2010.
The Ageport shipping agency told investigators that Del Tiempo had exported freight containers on ten occasions, seven of them through Prado Universal Corp and three through Star Marble. They said that Del Tiempo had paid in cash and said they should not worry about the receipts.
Last week Clave published the transcripts of an interview with Ruth Sanchez Vargas, Arturo del Tiempo's son's girlfriend, who assured that the chief of the Police General Rafael Guillermo Guzman Fermin had a close relationship with Del Tiempo. In a statement from his spokesman Nelson Rosario, Guzman Fermin denied having ties with Del Tiempo. Also present at the questioning was Army Major Roberto Soto of the DNCD Information and Joint Coordination Center. Clave reveals that he has since been dismissed. Clave also reports that a news source said that the dismissal took place days after the authorities completed an investigation into 52 kilos of cocaine confiscated on a Jetairfly plane that was due to travel to Europe from Punta Cana.
