Santo Domingo. - National District Sentencing judge Saulo Diaz issued an arrest warrant against former banker Leonel Almonte, the first to be convicted of major fraud swindling three depositors of the Banco Universal.

Diaz’s warrant also orders that Almonte be escorted to the Ciudad Nueva Courthouse to begin serving the 15 year prison sentence upheld by the Supreme Court.

On January 29 the lawyers for the depositors Cristian Caraballo, Rosa Caraballo and Remilda del Carmen Rodriguez had to file an appeal before the Sentencing Judge to carry out the High court’s ruling.

IF he goes to jail, IF, he goes, he will still live like a king.

We have seen it before. In jail, you have the money, you do what you please.

This guy ripped my father off in the mid eighties. I can never forgive him for forcing us into poverty. Four kids a wife and no money in Santo Domingo=hambre. His kids travelled the world and ate filet mignon. We had nothing, we couldn't even travel far way from la capital for a vacation.

Azaroso, I hope he rots in his jail cell full of roaches, that it smells of piss and poop. Eat casabe vacio ladron, muerete.

Now my question is, how happy is Mr. (I use that term loosely) Almonte about these dominican media outlets using his pic with cabello negro, as opposed to the present day decrepit looking SOB's picture. un ladron es un ladron, I guess.

I would consider this a good start on road to redemption-not of this criminal, but Dominican judicial system-which is in dire need of integrity, redemption.

As for this guy, Id rather see him hang in public square.....he clearly screwed lots of people and hanging would be just punishment. LF clould always pardon him-right after we cut him down.

This LADRON was on top of the world in the mid 80's, when Jorge Blanco was president, which by the way should be in jail too, also a guy by the name of Cuervo Gomez, back then, these people took everything they could with the blessing of Jorge Blanco; they all should be behind bars, but instead they live a lavish lifestile a costilla de los pendejos. I see Orlando Jorge Mera privando en serio ahora el CARA DE ANEMICO hijo de un LADRON y la pocirga del PRD.

This is highly unusual but the story is not over yet. An arrest warrant has been issued now you need to arrest him. Where is he?

He should have pled guilty in late 2009 to be pardoned by Xmas.

Now he'll have to serve one year in a private clinic before the absolution.

Remember the HOPSITALIZATIONS in DR at the eleventh hour are a halfway house to freedom!

Is this great a GREAT COUNTRY or what!

Oh, Bernie Madoff if you had only been born Dominican!
