The First Collegiate Court of the National District heard defense counsel call for a not guilty verdict for their clients Sammy Dauhajre and Adolfina Pelaez. Judges Gissel Mendez, July Tamariz, and Tania Yunes heard the conclusions from several other defense lawyers as well. Jose Ariza, lawyer for Sammy Dauhajre said that the National District prosecutor Alejandro Moscoso Segarra and his assistant Jose Dante prepared the case after viewing porno videos of Figueroa Agosto in the office of Miguel Medina, former spokesman for General Rafael Bencosme Candelier. Medina denied the statement.
Defense lawyer said that his client was included because, as seen in the video, when Figueroa Agosto was having sex he called out to Sammy questioning the quality of a watch the latter had sold to him. As reported in Hoy, Ariza said that "it was in the office of my friend Miguelito Medina," referring to the communicator and former spokesman for General Rafael Bencosme Candelier, former director of Criminal Investigations of the Police and of the Metropolitan Transport Authority. [In a recent WikiLeaks file, a US Embassy comments rejected that Bencosme be promoted to chief of the Police during the Fernandez administration].
The prosecutors rejected the comments, saying it was a desperate ploy by Dauhajre's lawyer.
Freddy Mateo Calderon, defense lawyer for Adolfina Pelaez, mentioned yesterday that Figueroa Agosto had two credit cards with which he could manage millions of dollars, as well as two accounts at the Banco Popular and an account at the Asociacion Popular de Ahorros y Prestamos savings & loans bank. He said that Figueroa Agosto was so powerful he resided at Av. Tiradentes, only 150 meters from the National Department of Investigations.
In his closing words, he criticized that the Court left out of the case the military accomplices that he said 39 days after Figueroa Agosto had arrived to the Dominican Republic, despite being a fugitive of justice in Puerto Rico, was issued a Dominican cedula (ID) and had a pass authorized by the Department of National Investigations (DNI). He criticized that the prosecutors were not capable of accusing the president of the Central Electoral Board under whose administration the first ID (cedula) was issued to Figueroa when he had just left jail in Puerto Rico, with a 209-year sentence upon him, as reported in Hoy.
