The Prosecutor for San Francisco de Macoris, Regi Victorio Reyes was present when the safe where company messenger Carlos David Garcia Rojas had stashed what was left of the money he stole from construction company Constructora Almonte Tavarez where he worked for years in Santo Domingo. The prosecutor stated there was RD$1.4 million in the safe.
There is confusion about how much money was actually there. Hoy reports that the messenger had said he left RD$2.8 million, the prosecutor said there was RD$1.4 million, but Colonel Manuel Santamaria Fondeur, in charge of the operation told the press there was RD$1.8 million in the safe.
"This was an investigation by the National District prosecutor office. We were simply there as backup, as was the prosecutor of the province, and we found the sum of RD$1.8 million in 2,000 bills, a revolver in the safe, and the house furnishings," he said, as reported in Hoy.
On 22 February, Garcia Rojas went missing after going to the bank to cash a RD$5.5 million check and deposit the money. He was arrested at dawn on Thursday at the house he had rented in Las Guaranas for RD$15,000 a month.
Garcia Rojas was accompanied by two men, Francisco Jose Regalado and Wascar Antonio Solis Garcia, and a 15-year old minor the press says was his girlfriend. The security forces had to wait five hours for the prosecutor to come to search the house, as reported in Listin Diario.
