Last night President Leonel Fernandez said that in the last ten years the DR has gone from a judicial system where defendants could buy favorable sentences to a justice system that is reliable, honorable and honest. Fernandez says that the country is perceived as serious and trustworthy with institutions that are credible due to the increased strength of the justice system. The President added that there has been a real revolution within the democratic spectrum since 1997. Fernandez's support for Chief Justice Subero Isa comes after Subero and Attorney General Radhames Jimenez spent much of the week blaming each other for deficiencies in the country's judicial system and the ineffectual fight against corruption. Yesterday Jimenez suggested a meeting with Subero to discuss ways of fighting corruption, considering that both are at the top of the judicial system.
Director of the Department for the Persecution of Administrative Corruption (formerly DEPRECO) Octavio Lister tried to add some positive spin to the public disagreement. Quoted in El Caribe, Lister says that it was not so much an argument, as a divergence in criteria or positions.
