Prosecutor General, Radhames Jimenez Pena reported on the results of the election of the Higher Council of the Public Prosecutors. The council will be made up by judges Moises Ferrer (Santo Domingo), Victor Gonzalez (La Vega), Lucas Evangelista Perez Jose (La Altagracia) and Kelvin Santana (La Romana). The School of Prosecutors Academic Council will be headed by Jesus Fernandez Velez (San Cristobal) and Pedro Mateo Ibert (San Juan de la Maguana). The council will be in charge of evaluating prosecutors nationwide.
Meanwhile, according to news reports, the process is being challenged by more than 100 prosecutors who have taken a recourse to the Higher Administrative Court disputing what they deem an imposition of the representation in the prosecutors council by Jimenez Pena. They argue that Art. 174 of the 2010 Constitution that created the new council establishes that the body will be made up by the Prosecutor General, an assistant prosecutor of the Prosecutor General elected by his colleagues, a prosecutor general of the Court of Appeals elected by his colleagues, and a prosecutor elected by his colleagues. They complain that the Prosecutor General has only allowed the prosecutors of each jurisdiction the right to vote and be elected, in violation of the Constitution.
