The Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ) rejected a direct penal complaint filed by the PRD opposition party against three members of the Central Electoral Board (JCE) who they accuse of incurring in an alleged falsification of public documents and failure to perform in regards to the election of the senator for Pedernales.
Diario Libre said the case is against the head of the JCE Disputes Chamber, Mariano Rodriguez and the judges Leyda Margarita Pina and John Guilliani. The lawsuit also seeks a penal sanction and damages totaling RD$321.8 million as fair compensation.
Making use of the faculties granted by Articles 17, 25 of Law 25-91 on the SCJ, Chief Justice Jorge Subero Isa declared the complaint filed by the PRD as inadmissible on the grounds that the charges were poorly drawn up. Party president Miguel Vargas Maldonado and Jose Saturnino Espinal Espinal, former candidate for the Pedernales senate seat represented the PRD. Subero ruled that while the complaint as a civil suit certainly attributes some infractions to the accused, the way the charges were drawn up contained ambiguities that invalidated the complaint.
Subero Isa rejected a petition from the lawyer assigned to the case, Ramon Emilio Concepcion, who requested designating a Special Judge of Instruction to hear precautionary and coercive measures against the JCE judges. The lawyers for Mariano Rodriguez, Miguel Valerio Jiminian, Yipsy Roa Diaz and Olivo Rodriguez Huerta requested that the chief Justice of the SCJ declare all parts of the complaint as inadmissible.
