Lawyers for Impacto Urbano have announced that National District Mayor Roberto Salcedo has had his personal bank accounts seized because he refused to comply with a court decision. The lawyers, including Rafaela Espaillat, Felix Damian Olivares, Eduardo Jorge Prats and Rolando Cruz Bello, told Listin Diario that RD$4 million have been seized from his accounts, double what was decided upon by the First Civil and Commercial Chamber of the National District Court of Appeals. The lawyers clarified that the seizure does not affect the municipal budget, just Salcedo's personal finances and properties, which include two RD$18 million apartments on Ave. Pedro Henriquez Urena. The lawyers said that a notice was sent to all the banks that manage Salcedo's accounts and that the courts have issued seven sentences in favor or Impacto Urbano, which have been ignored by the Mayor. Impacto Urbano is a public space advertising company that has protested against what they claim is a violation of their contract with the municipality by Salcedo.
