Rockash case update

[NewsWhore]

Judge Gerald Bruce Lee of the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia, who is hearing the case between the Dominican government and AES Corporation, will decide today if he will accept the Dominican government's petition to publicly release documentation submitted by AES Corporation and Roger Charles Fina. Hoy reports that these documents may prove that AES bribed Dominican officials in order to allow the rockash into the country. The Dominican government is suing AES for bringing 80,000 tons of ash into the country, in violation of Environment Law 64-00 and damaging the environment. The country, however, will not be allowed to sue for damages to tourism or public health. Environment Minister Max Puig says that the government wants all the documents out in the light, and called for transparency and for the real story behind the rockash to be known. Puig says that the government is ready for the 5 March trial.
