Officers of the Electricity Fraud Prosecution Office (PGASE) suspects that President Leonel Fernandez's transport advisor, Mochotran transport magnate Alfredo Pulinario (Cambita) had a fraudulent electricity connection at his vehicle dealership in eastern Santo Domingo. As reported in the Listin Dario, EdeEste power distribution company anti-fraud technicians discovered a 37.5 kilowatt transformer with a direct connection to the business. EdeEste estimated the business consumed around 1,530 kWh monthly that was bypassing the electricity meter, or around RD$15,000 in unpaid monthly consumption.

The Listin reported that when anti-fraud technicians showed up at the business, men at the service of Pulinario, impeded the confiscation of the transformer and the arrests. Members of EdeEste security and the Police had to be called in.

In March of this year, President Fernandez had also appointed Pulinario executive director of the Pension Plan for Transporters (Caja de Pensiones y Jubilaciones para Choferes).
