Santo Domingo District Attorney Juan M. Hernandez has revealed that as many as 170 convicted criminals are walking the streets of the Dominican Republic. According to El Caribe, these are dangerous criminals who have not been placed in custody. The DA made his statement during a television interview on the Channel 37 program Pantalla Abierta. According to Hernandez, the criminals were convicted before the new Penal Code went into effect. In fact, he told his interviewers that 5,000 files were still in process under the old code, but he also said that these would be settled before the ten-year period lapses.
