UK ambassador & Biwater scandal

I researched the sentence by the DR supreme court, and found some interesting information.
First the person suing Biwater Ltd. who got the favorable sentence was none other than an "intermediary" or the person cashing in the commission for the works that Biwater received. He evidently did nothing except be the front man for the person(s) receiving the payback.
This person had several contracts with Biwater Ltd. for different commission amounts from 1% to 7%, which were later renegotiated and paid, but were done by email and fax and not signed and sealed according to Dominican laws.
The commission amounts were apparently renegotiated and agreed on, and Biwater Ltd paid a lesser amount, notwithstanding they were taken to court afterwards claiming payment of the full amount.
You can read the supreme court verdict in this site: http://www.suprema.gov.do/PDF_2/fallos/Biwater_Vs_Fulgencio_Abreu.pdf
and possibly gather some more information that I could in speed reading.

Excellente, Generoso.

I should have been an investigate journalist,
How come the local intelligentsia and news reporters has failed to produce this document?
I am emailing the editor of DominicanToday so he can post an exclusive.

I can think of some reasons, $$$$, for their less than stellar performance with some cases

But let's see what the boys come up with

RE: UK ambassador & Biwater scandal
I just researched the firm APICE owned by Fulgencio Abreu (that sued Biwater) and their purpose according to the official ONAPI (DR gov) reads:
06-44521 30/06/06 APICE ENTERPRISE PROMOVER E INVERTIR EN SOCIEDADES COMERCIALES, AGROPECUARIAS, TURISTICAS, FINANCIERAS E INMOBILIARIAS. COMPRA, VENTA Y TENENCIA DE BIENES INMUEBLES. ENRIQUE ALBERTO RIJO NADAL

Not one indication stating that the firm had anything to do with the construction business.

Mr. Enrique Alberto Rijo Nadal was the lawyer representing Fulgencio Abreu. He is one of the lawyers that work at Langa-Abinader law firm in the capital.

The pot thickens Let's have the news boys go after this law firm and Nadal. Do I see a "no comment" due of course to "An on going investigation"
