Two weeks ago, a well-known journalist and her friend returned to the Dominican Republic from an overseas trip. When Rosanna Rivera, an editor at Listin Diario and public relations businesswoman Ivelisse Jose Jorge got out of their vehicles at their home at Torre del Sol on Bolivar Avenue, they discovered that a gang of assailants had followed them back from the airport. To commit the crime, the assailants held up the building watchman. They were robbed of everything they carried, including cell phones and passports.
They filed a complaint, and the Police arrested five known criminals. The two women identified their assailants in the presence of prosecutors from the District Attorney's office and Police officers. One of the prosecutors returned one of the stolen iPhones seized from the detainees. Nothing else was returned.
On Saturday, the district prosecutor released the five assailants without charge. Rivera says that prosecutor Romero said that he let the men go free on Saturday alleging he could not locate her to complete the case. She says what is unheard of is that Romero himself returned her cell phone that had been stolen by one of the men. One person had been arrested in Germany after travelling on one of the stolen passports.
The two women are asking the Prosecutor General of the Republic to investigate the case. They want to hear the reasons why prosecutor Hector Romero dropped the charges against the five assailants, as reported in Listin Diario. The newspaper says the men were Jose Francisco de Leon Disla (Kiko), Ramon Antonio Liriano Pichardo (Kikito), Valentin Soriano Garabito, Rafael Alexander Coronado Concepcion and Jonathan Contreras Martinez (Pegy).
Police Central Department of Investigations agents arrested the five men and are said to be on the trail of six others, according to Listin Diario. The newspaper reports that the men are accused of twenty armed robberies targeting returning travelers.
On Tuesday, 22 February Santo Domingo prosecutor Alejandro Moscoso announced the temporary suspension of the prosecutors who acted in the release of five suspected assailants who had been identified by victims Rosanna Rivera and Ivelisse Jose Jorge, as reported in Listin Diario online. They were named as Hector Romero and Kariskeyda Pena Cordero from the Prosecutor Office Theft Department. Rivera and Jorge had complained about the release of the identified assailants.
