Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic’s Ambassador in the Vatican on Sunday said the alleged “cracking” of the presidential family’s emails is a political case in which the Government fell into a trap and should be handled by mature and experienced people.

Victor Grimaldi said the Administration of the PLD Party has fallen into a trap with the hook in the person of Guillermo Gomez and one of his sons as those behind the alleged campaign of attacks against the First Lady and the President.

“There are scheming hands behind everything: first analyze where Mrs. Margarita Cordero worked in the Administration headed by Hipólito Mejía, who was the first person who made public the alleged emails and private conversations which have been the original stone of the scandal. Secondly, that lady’s links with one of the people related to the decisions taken in the Central Bank to close the (banks) Baninter and Bancredito as part of the crisis in which the private bankers as well as Mejia’s Administration and his officials have great responsibilities,” Grimaldi said in reference to the former senior official of the Dominican Telecom Institute (Indotel) during Mejia's term in office.

They then also tried to unleash a crisis so that the Banco Popular Dominicano to explode. They couldn’t accomplish because of the healthy conditions of this financial institution, but they were able by means of pressures to dismiss the then chief editor of the newspaper El Caribe because of that newspaper’s relation with the Banco Popular,” the diplomat said.

All these personalities are the ones who move the threads of all these campaigns of rumors and defamations are which have sprung the trap against the PLD and its Administration, and faced with it both will have seek a way to pull out this hook that has stoked a national and international scandal. We aren’t dealing with a simple problem of public order. This is a political problem which must be dealt with political criteria, by people with maturity and experience,” the Dominican ambassador said.

JUst his opinion and summary of events in a way he sees them . I do not see it that way at all Hacking of personal computers is a crime and should be dealt with by the police ...Hacking of government computers is also a serious crime and defence records and plans are one of the most serious hacking offences but so is the hacking into personal information of people that is kept by government sources and which is supposed to be private ,,including all health records

The movie The Matrix was considered science fiction. I saw it as VISIONARY. I am old and have seen the world change so profoundly I cannot describe it. Yet, we are living in the Matrix and being scrutinized.

Grimaldi is placing himself into a political and criminal maelstrom, an area he should avoid, because of the discreet responsibility of his office. He is commenting with a bias; his assuming the cracking was a "trap". He has no idea what is going on, should not be airing the country's dirty laundry in the global theater. He should have only communicated the cracking incident is under investigation and it will be handled internally.

The church is always in bed with whoever is in power, until they look like loosing. Then they jump ship and claim credit for their demise.

zooma,
The Catholic has no "discreet responsibility" and the "political and criminal maelstrom" is their stock in trade.
Also Pope Ratzinger is an expert on "cracking" - of choir-boys by his clergy, mostly. He was responsible for shielding them from the law around the world.
