Leonel Fernandez, Prince Albert
Santo Domingo.- Nearly 100 English and Irish families want president Leonel Fernandez and Monaco’s prince Albert to testify in a case of alleged real estate “macrofraud” in Spain.
The plaintiffs say one Spanish and three British promoters scammed them out of more than 4.5 million euros in bogus real estate projects in Dominican Republic, Morocco and Malaga, Spain.
The lawsuit filed by the Marbella law firm Lawbird, representing the families, requests the testimony of the Dominican chief executive and the Prince of Monaco, for “lending their image” to the real estate promoter Ricardo Miranda for projects which never materialized, including the construction of as many as 8,000 houses.
The Lawbird lawyers have also requested the testimony of the developer Andres Lietor, one of the main defendants in the case 'Malaya,' who along with Carlos Sanchez have another lawsuit pending against Miranda for alleged fraud. According to court documents, Liétor and Sanchez owned the site for the houses to be built in Dominican Republic.
Although the Spanish press didn’t specify the land’s location Fernandez had accompanied Alberto for the December 2008 groundbreaking for the tourism real estate project Punta Perla Caribbean Golf, Marina & Resort, to be built at a cost of 2.5 billion dollars in the east coast community, Cabeza de Toro.
The Spanish press did specify that each plaintiff deposited as much as 80,000 Euros for the down payment on the houses.
Speaking in the event, Fernandez said the project, which began with three others in the area, entailed a total investment of more than de 5.0 billion dollars.

This could spell end of LF's political ambitions outside DR.
Perhaps EU would take away his visa, curtail his extensive and frequent and economically insignificant travel abroad.
I guess foreigners have been involuntarily recruited to do the job Dominicans must do but just will not do............total deliction of duty. Guilty as charged!

I bet you Leonel won't be breaking ground soon any where on this planet. There will be more to come with this story.
From: United States
LF and his cronies will do their best at damage control but if this was done frequently and purposely by him he is going to have some big problems traveling anywhere in the future.
From: United States
LF (empty suit) and team have the inbred Groundhogs day mentality.
The will deny, deny, deny saying it never happened.
This should be good.
From: United States
Wonder what all those other foreign nations that he has solicited to invest in the DR will have to say?
I hope it goes something like this “F…off until you get your house in order. Asswipe”

LOL........ I told you guys, Leona's associations with different Levels of the crime totem pole, makes it way to easy for a person of leo's expertise and skills acquired through experience and education in the Lower East-side of Manhattan , A.K.A - L,E,S. Plus, she surround herself with worthless people and she gives them what they have been dreaming of for years and ....Wahlah....she turns her people to instant ESCAPE GOATS(Sacrificial Lamb) just for her cause. This time she got greedy and got her hands dirty on her own will.
I hope the PLD is dismantled and Leo's entire family (Just the ones he has in his cellphone contacts) stripped of all wealth acquired in the last 10yrs.

Imaginary episode of Law & Order:

"People's Exhibit 124-B: a piece of ribbon removed from a dress belonging to this witness.
Mr Leo, was this piece of ribbon taken from the Punta Perla Caribbean Golf, Marina & Resort ?"

“lending their image”
Please!!! Leona doesn't lend her time for free. The Image, yea, from day one she never express concern for image relations. Now, for her time there is a fee involved. The photo shoot is free.
I'm surprised leo wasn't wisked away with segura and friends to some foriegn destination on official business, which, it's a norm for leo when shit hits the fan..
Can I get two guys to hold leo by his arms, so that I can punch him in his snotbox, for showing "INEXPERIENCE" and for breaking the street code of "ENGAGEMENT".

one more scam............nothing new
From: United States
Prince Albert trying his hand at real estate scams with his buddy LF. Soon as the international community sees these shady dealings don't expect any foreign investment except from the usual drug dealers we already have investing now. They have little choice laundering their money since they need to do it in a place where the government is extremely corrupt.
This is why I tell everyone who says they want a vacation home in the DR not to bother. It will always be cheaper to rent. After some time they all seem to thank me hearing about how their friends who buy and invest get scammed and ripped off in every way imaginable. They rent for a short period so when the scams come up in every other area they are minimal.

The president of the DR is worldly, well educated, eloquent, and carries himself well, with a level of refinement. Unfortunately, the "man" has no balls. Leo the lion Fernandez, is a discredit to his name, lacks total macho qualities, does not naturally display any authentic Dominican character.. He won't stand up to nobody and bows so much that I think he has no spine, what a wimp.
God, I would hate him be my general on the battle field, surely the fatalities would far outnumber survivors. I am certain that under his command, the chances of any infantry left alive after a final military showdown, would be slim to none, and slim just walk out the door.
