Spanish ambassador Almudena Masarrasa has joined her French colleague in criticizing what she called a "cloudy" judicial climate in the Dominican Republic. The Spanish ambassador also looked hard at issues such as corruption and the non-fulfillment of laws and contracts. She cited as an example the case of an investor who discovers that "the same land is sold two or three times because there is no reliable title registry." The diplomat said that the problem was due to any lack of laws, but rather the fact that the laws are not respected or were difficult to carry out.

She said that since the shelving of the Artificial Island project no investor has approached her office.
