They commit the crime...but don't do the time.
SANTO DOMINGO.- Supreme Court president Jorge Subero said the many fugitives from Justice in the streets is a serious situation, "because we cannot have so many people who don’t appear to respond before the courts."
According to National District Office of the Prosecutor statistics disclosed Monday by newspaper Diario Libre, there are 1,084 fugitives with arrest warrants issued against them just in the Capital, mostly in connection with drug trafficking.
"It would be necessary to determine if there is a problem in the issuing of subpoenas which aren’t arriving on time," Subero said, adding that there’s a need to determine if it’s really a problem of Justice.
He said he’ll investigate judges and prosecutors to determine who’s responsible for the situation. “What I want to establish is what is the cause that drives so many people to not appear in court."
Police chief Rafael Guzmán said Subero’s request for the judges to be harder against crime is encouraging. It’s a clear message to those criminals who try to alter peace and safety in the Dominican Republic.”
He said it’s a message for the judges to assume their responsibilities as the National Police does, including having to re-arrest the fugitives.

this is depressing to live in a society that has no respect for law and order

I thought things were ok in Canada? Possibly you feel that since you are so active here on a Dominican site you actually believe you live here?

I do ...but I would not live in Cabarete because there are to many Canucks there
From: Dominican Republic
Its a great pity they dont control the amount of expat criminal fugitives here. goulet your comments are very stupid and uneducated, if you think so lowly of this country why are you reading and commenting in a Dominican newspaper. It seems to me you are showing pure envy of us that live here, hence your silly comments

What is so silly fool ...dont you read your own papers ...with all the good things you have do you deny a level of corruption that is not acceptable in civilized societies...a level of education that should bring shame to you and your forefathers...you are the one to be pitied ...for accepting a level of malfeasance in government probably slightly better than Nigeria...Believe me your next great problem and you can see it coming is not Expat criminals but Repat criminals being sent back here in chains to open Universities of crime right here in your midst...Willmo sees it as it lays but you SAS you must have a botella

LOL they get everywhere dont they

Goulet, for someone such as yourself, the person who lives by trying to legislate ethics, don't you think it is a little off color to use the term Canucks? what is next? jigaboos? guidos? heebs? monkey chasers? you never fail to amaze me.

Dread I am an expert on racial and ethnic slurs and Canuck is not one of them...it is also the name of the Vancouver Hockey team....Again with the old slimy race domino ...Slam
From: United States
i am aware that there is a team called the Canucks. there is also a team called the Washington Redskins. the terms both have underlying , offensive tones. i would not expect you to understand that , Goulet, as sensitivity does not appear to be high on your list of endeavors

Dread your analogy is a laugh....no one in Canada feels that way and there are many native Americans who dont feel that way.....But I will speak for the Canadians because I am one....It is not a slur any more than the original meaning of the word Yankee as in" A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court " always wanting to play that thing that slimy thing

Goulet, i was not aware that you spoke only on things with which you are personally familiar. after all, you are neither an african american, nor are you an afro west indian. yet you were at pains to explain to me the genesis of ill feelings between american blacks and west indians. i thought that my lifetime in america would have afforded me some insight into the dynamics of the relationship. alas, i was incorrect. thankfully, along came Goulet, and he explained it to me. it is, you see, the fault of the haughty west indians, he says. try to understand that this guy probably has never spent any time around the folks he analyses with such assuredness. then he wonders why west indians hate guys like him!!! next, he will inform us that he knows more about the problem than we think, because he has a black friend, somewhere.

Contraire contraire I have spent time with them in their old home and their new home...granted not from the perspective of actually being in their shoes but very close to it ....Also the aspect of mimicking their former colonial masters yes I have a very good perspective on that ...That cuts across races ...I also cannot recall meeting a West Indian who did not have a relative living in Toronto..... Caribana festival was founded there in my youth and is as you know the largest festival of the west indies in existence...I then over the years became very familiar with their islands visiting them for extended periods of time....Also how they treated American blacks who tried to stick their noses in the pot so to speak
From: United States
actually, Goulet, trinidad carnival is larger than caribana.

of course dread that is the real thing in its own environs ....it bloody snows in Toronto but what an incredible cultural party they reproduce ...but it is not the real thing like Trinidad
