The Attorney General of the Republic, Radhames Jimenez Pena has pledged to take control of the embargoes that have affected hotels in La Altagracia province. The hotel sector has protested they have been carried out illegally and arbitrarily. In a statement yesterday, Jimenez Pena said that he would take steps to ensure that a representative of the Justice Department would be present at all these actions.

The measures include the appointment of a commission to look into the latest embargoes and establish whether or not there were any irregularities.

Diario Libre reports that this commission is made up of the Deputy Attorney General Bolivar Sanchez, Francisco Polanco and the District Attorney for Hato Mayor, who will meet with hoteliers today. Jimenez Pena said he expects the hotel representatives to present a report with the names of the bailiffs and lawyers who took part in these embargoes. At the same time he made it clear that no member of the Justice Department took part in these acts, which were carried out without his authorization.
