SANTIAGO.- The journalist Marcos Martinez on Friday harshened his allegation that first lady Margarita Cedeño has €43 million account in a Danish bank by stating that if fact, the amount is 76 million Euros, and acknowledged her right to file slander charges against him.
“She’s the First Lady and is obliged to strongly clarify to the Dominican electorate my denunciation’s veracity or lack thereof, because she’s the vice presidential candidate and she’s placed under the scrutiny of public opinion and of the voters whom she seeks the support from,” Martinez said after ending his program in a local channel in Santiago.
He challenged Cedeño to present documents to debunk his assertion because in his view, she’s not exempt from questioning. “I am not going to feel fear, we’re in a State of Law and I don’t campaign for money either.”
Martinez advised the First Lady to send an emissary to the Danish bank and obtain a certification that she has nothing to do with that account “and, if so, we wouldn’t have to go to any trial because I’ll immediately condemn myself.”
From: Dominican Republic
Since the first lady and her notorious husband did not have 100 pesos between them prior to being elected it comes to stand that their money was collected after being elected.
If this is the case then where did the money come from?

If she has that kind of money, it is obvious that it has been ill-gotten and has a lot of explaining to do. I sincerely wish this issue comes up to surface before the elections.
She and hubby could be prosecuted by an international court of law and made to make restitution to our people.

Marcos Martínez dice tener supuestos documentos que indican “fortuna” Primera Dama supera los 76 millones de Euros

SANTIAGO, República Dominicana.- Marcos Martínez indicó este viernes a la salida de su programa poseer supuestas documentaciones, que presentará en su momento, de que la “fortuna” de la Primera Dama supera los 76 millones de Euros.
Expresó además que habló como comunicador y ciudadano y que la Primera Dama debe aclarar su denuncia.

Martínez explicó que el proceso judicial contra su persona será por lo civil, de difamación e injuria, y exonera al medio de comunicación de sus comentarios.
El ex diputado negó que esa denuncia forme parte de un plan político del Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD) y lo mismo haría contra cualquiera que aspire a una posición del Estado.

Your comments are right on and in touch with how the majority of the population in DR thinks.
Many could care less about the fact she might have misused her influence to gain monies, and as a matter of fact, would probably want to get closer to her, since now they know she is wealthy, and they might get some of that wealth from her.

And josean, in legal terms, people have 'Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat,' the presumption of innocence.

From: Dominican Republic, Santiago de los 30 Caballeros
Ricardolito and Atabey,
Well, we can start by making some very simple (and wrong) assumptions, the case will depend voluminous upon on whom presides over court proceedings and the legal representation of both parties. Although the innermore that determines the outcome of many defamation law cases will depend upon the strength and admissibility of evidence -- including physical proof, cyber data , and documentary.
And last but not least, the case will most likely go international, because the banking system might have to get involved as an evidence provider.
But please, do not take my words too literally, because I do not engaged in the practice of law.

If the allegations are bogus all the first lady has to do is go to Denmark with a group of respected Dominican and international journalists like Alicia Ortega, Nuria Piera and CNN. Then go to the bank with the documents and checks that have been presented as proof of this questionable account and ask the bank to authenticate them or disqualify them. This can be done in couple of days and the she would be in a stronger position to sue Mr. Martinez.
Not to mention that it would strengthen her and Danilo’s candidacy! This is not rocket science nor does it require the superior intellect of Atabey; belter known as Mickey Mouse!

Martinez, it's time to put up or shut up.
If she has embezzled money from the state then she should be tried and if found guilty, convicted. However she has no obligation to defend herself until then. If Martinez has proof, then he needs to present it.
However I doubt the Dominican judiciary has the balls to do it, even if presented with irrefutable evidence. Stealing from the state is a Dominican birthright - to the best of one's ability - whether you are the President. 1st lady, government official, or a peasant attaching wires to transmission-lines, or stealing man-hole covers, or bribing an official for a drivers license.

You see Roy I agree with you that a private citizen has no obligation.
However, when you’re the first lady with and extraordinary budget at your disposal as a non-elected government official and when you are using your reputation as qualification to run for the vice Presidency you are held to higher scrutiny.
The publics assumes that politicians ,which she is, and a very prominent one at that, because of her marriage and the candidacy see is involved in, are guilty until proven guilty. It should not be that way but that is the environment politicians have created for themselves, especially in DR with their almost genetic propensity to steal.
It’s like pedophilia not all priest are child molesters, even you would concede that, but unfortunately because the way the Catholic Church has handled or mishandled these crimes to a very large segment of society ALL priests are suspect.

Being from America (which is far from perfect) I am amazed at the transparency of cooruption and how no one does anything about it. How does a poor man become a billionaire just by being president. How do politicians from nothing to all of a sudden driving Ferraris. I do not understand how this nation lives with itself. Pepe Goiko,I have heard his names a thousand times, and all know he kills and steals, but he's high up on the Hippoponamus bandwagon. I was in court last week, a father beat the crap out of his 19 year old son, The father said his son stole money from the him, but the money was in a bank account with only the 19 year old's name on it. He said it was a gift from his dad, that was why it was in his account. The judge totally ignored the busted up face of the kid,the disfigured nose, that he beat the s**t out of his own son, and said since the kid admitted the father had given him the money it must be returned, This is a Disneyworld for the criminals
From: United States
had this been the USA, the FBI would have been called in to investigate the veracity of the allegations, and, if proven true, there would be congressional hearings to decide how to proceed. sadly, neither of those options is available here. there is no parallel to the FBI here...no investigative body which can be expected to function independently of the government, principally the Chief Executive, whose own wife is the center of the attentions. secondly, the hearings would be a circus act, since the entire senate is made up of PLD representatives. so, what we have is the subject of amusement, banter, gossip and innuendo. it will all come to naught. the only benefit is that it has surely put paid to any chance Danilo has of winning the Presidency. even that is a mixed blessing, in that it ostensibly hands the keys of the Presidential Palace to Mejia. comedic goings -on in tropical banana republics.

"SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.-Contrary to the first Lady Margarita Cedeño de Fernández, who addressed accusations by defending herself in a video that with regard to allegations she has an account with more than 43 million euros in a bank in Denmark, Senator Felix Bautista, who also linked to this case, has remained silent in his own defense."
"Marcos Martínez, the lawyer and commentator from Santiago, said that Felix Bautistad was a recipient of a transfer of money in connection with the alleged account of the first lady, through a NGO called Fundi, which is the private foundation of Senator and high official of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD)."

Somehow, this garbage bobbed to the surface. What went wrong?
On the other hand, Marcos Martinez, must have had some kind of insider information. How did he get it, and who gave it to him?
This man doesn't seem to be a dummy and is totally standing by his allegations. If he doesn't end up floating in the Ozama, and is able to prove it without a doubt; the repercussions are enormous! This will change the course of history in our country and establish a precedent that wiil reverberate for many years to come!

since when did the taint of corruption militate against the fortunes of a politician in this country? Hippo presided over the Baninter fiasco, Pepe Goico, and all the druggie scandals. he is back, for more, and the populace is embracing him, with open arms. he could very well get a second round at the steering wheel. the public does not care. as long as they feel that they can get something for THEMSELVES, do you think that the concept of good governance means a hill of beans? the guy could steal a billion, and, as long as they can get some scraps, they would push the wheelbarrow that carries his money.
But
Seeing as no "Proof" has been forthcoming it is beginning to look like this Journalist is the Dominican version of Media Matters
"Methinks he might still have those panties all tied up and wet from last time".
Tied up From WHAT Mickey Mouse?
As Walter said,
Very hard to think IF THIS IS SO that shell companies and other forms of plausible deniability were not used. And the people setting up such a scheme would be VERY much rookies in the financial ways of the world to place such enormous amounts into named accounts.
Too risky and perhaps there is ANOTHER WOMAN so named, there are I suspect many Margarita Cedeños in this world. Cedeño is not that unknown of a surname and Margarita even less, so let's see the evidence before we jump the gun.
Now Atabey aka, Mickey Mouse, let’s see what happens now :
“In an e-mail message sent in the early hours of Friday, attributed to the international protest group Anonymous , it challenges the first Lady Margarita Cedeño ,Senator Felix Bautista and Jose Manuel Taveras, to deliver a special power to several journalists, media and to national and international NGOs so they investigate the truth or falsity of existence of the alleged overseas bank accounts identified as register in an attachment.”

SANTIAGO, República Dominicana.- Marcos Martínez indicó este viernes a la salida de su programa poseer supuestas documentaciones, que presentará en su momento, de que la “fortuna” de la Primera Dama supera los 76 millones de Euros.
Expresó además que habló como comunicador y ciudadano y que la Primera Dama debe aclarar su denuncia.

Martínez explicó que el proceso judicial contra su persona será por lo civil, de difamación e injuria, y exonera al medio de comunicación de sus comentarios.
El ex diputado negó que esa denuncia forme parte de un plan político del Partido Revolucionario Dominicano (PRD) y lo mismo haría contra cualquiera que aspire a una posición del Estado.

This is getting interesting.
@dreadlocks"do you think that the concept of good governance means a hill of beans? the guy could steal a billion, and, as long as they can get some scraps, they would push the wheelbarrow that carries his money."
Great point !!!! And very true, typical of many Dominican brown nosers.
Mickey Mouse, with your advanced education and you extraordinary FORUM level intellect could you please extend the courtesy of translating articles for our friends that don't have the benefit of being able to read Spanish!
Your comments are right on and in touch with how the majority of the population in DR thinks.
Many could care less about the fact she might have misused her influence to gain monies, and as a matter of fact, would probably want to get closer to her, since now they know she is wealthy, and they might get some of that wealth from her.
I don't see that information creating "malaise", to the point that it would sour the election of Danilo Medina.
BTW I am no fan of the current administration.

Later on I will post a very simple solution (since my brain at best works on a very simple basis) that the first lady may want to consider to clear this up and put this issue to rest, that’s if someone doesn’t suggest it first.
Atabey,
Unlike those who arrogantly worship and besmirch on this website, I have yet to see a legitimate source to back up this claim. But I hold them both with equal skepticism as I cannot draw a line at the present moment.
If the man has proof then let him state it and it will be judged on the merits.
And josean, in legal terms, people have 'Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat,' the presumption of innocence.
-A principle, mind you, that requires the government to prove the guilt of a criminal defendant and relieves the defendant of any burden to prove his or her innocence.
But you knew that.
Ricardolito and Atabey,
Well, we can start by making some very simple (and wrong) assumptions, the case will depend voluminous upon on whom presides over court proceedings and the legal representation of both parties. Although the innermore that determines the outcome of many defamation law cases will depend upon the strength and admissibility of evidence -- including physical proof, cyber data , and documentary.
And last but not least, the case will most likely go international, because the banking system might have to get involved as an evidence provider.
But please, do not take my words too literally, because I do not engaged in the practice of law.
We are getting close to the time when the reporter will need to be investigated to see if he has any connection to P.R.D. operatives.
If the allegations are bogus all the first lady has to do is go to Denmark with a group of respected Dominican and international journalists like Alicia Ortega, Nuria Piera and CNN. Then go to the bank with the documents and checks that have been presented as proof of this questionable account and ask the bank to authenticate them or disqualify them. This can be done in couple of days and the she would be in a stronger position to sue Mr. Martinez.
Not to mention that it would strengthen her and Danilo’s candidacy! This is not rocket science nor does it require the superior intellect of Atabey; belter known as Mickey Mouse!
Got to noticiassin.com and watch the VIDEO if you what to hear the accusations from the horses mouth;
The article is titled:
“Marcos Martínez dice tener documentos indican “fortuna” Primera Dama”
“Marcos Martínez claims to have documents that demonstrate the first lady "Fortune" first lady”
If she has embezzled money from the state then she should be tried and if found guilty, convicted. However she has no obligation to defend herself until then. If Martinez has proof, then he needs to present it.
However I doubt the Dominican judiciary has the balls to do it, even if presented with irrefutable evidence. Stealing from the state is a Dominican birthright - to the best of one's ability - whether you are the President. 1st lady, government official, or a peasant attaching wires to transmission-lines, or stealing man-hole covers, or bribing an official for a drivers license.
You see Roy I agree with you that a private citizen has no obligation.
However, when you’re the first lady with and extraordinary budget at your disposal as a non-elected government official and when you are using your reputation as qualification to run for the vice Presidency you are held to higher scrutiny.
The publics assumes that politicians ,which she is, and a very prominent one at that, because of her marriage and the candidacy see is involved in, are guilty until proven guilty. It should not be that way but that is the environment politicians have created for themselves, especially in DR with their almost genetic propensity to steal.
It’s like pedophilia not all priest are child molesters, even you would concede that, but unfortunately because the way the Catholic Church has handled or mishandled these crimes to a very large segment of society ALL priests are suspect.
as Dready put it, everyone is hoping for their turn at the trough and want to be granted the same courtesy of not being impeded.
Physical violence is also considered a legitimate form of interaction. One father in our village, a devout Evangelist, (nearly always carrying a Bible), regularly beats his kids. I hear the shouting, screaming, waking and crying almost every night. I'm not talking about a slap on the wrist. Beating with the buckle-end of a belt drawing blood from the young girls face. All the neighbors know but say nothing.

"Margarita Gate: why has influential Senator Felix Bautista kept silence?"
"The powerful leader was mentioned by Marcos Martinez as one of the people involved in allegedly receiving money form the account that is attributed to the first lady."
"SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.-Contrary to the first Lady Margarita Cedeño de Fernández, who addressed accusations by defending herself in a video that with regard to allegations she has an account with more than 43 million euros in a bank in Denmark, Senator Felix Bautista, who also linked to this case, has remained silent in his own defense."
"Marcos Martínez, the lawyer and commentator from Santiago, said that Felix Bautistad was a recipient of a transfer of money in connection with the alleged account of the first lady, through a NGO called Fundi, which is the private foundation of Senator and high official of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD)."
Acento.com
I would venture to guess that if Margarita actually has all that money, it was not funneled by her own devices, alone. She must have had a lot of help from the pros.
Somehow, this garbage bobbed to the surface. What went wrong?
On the other hand, Marcos Martinez, must have had some kind of insider information. How did he get it, and who gave it to him?
This man doesn't seem to be a dummy and is totally standing by his allegations. If he doesn't end up floating in the Ozama, and is able to prove it without a doubt; the repercussions are enormous! This will change the course of history in our country and establish a precedent that wiil reverberate for many years to come!
As much as I like her, I hope it's true and sparks an inquisition-like movement (revolution?) and subsequent hangin by the balls, of every thief in government. ..How many will that come to?

I assume those who do give minus' don't know why)

BREAKING NEWS: Danish bank denies First Lady has account there, official says
"Autoridad de Supervisión de Dinamarca dice Margarita no es cliente del Danske Bank
El Superintendente de Bancos, Haivanjoe NG Cortiñas, informó a la opinión pública que el 17 de febrero del 2012 recibió una comunicación de la Doctora Margarita Cedeño Lizardo, solicitándole hacer las diligencias correspondientes a los fines de determinar si la Doctora Cedeño es cliente del Danske Bank."
Some of us tried to warn you guys NOT to jump to conclusions before more information was forth coming. If the above holds true, you guys owe a Mea Maxima Culpa to the First Lady and a sincere apology to the rest for taking such rash judgment on the matter.
Josea?
“Danish law is very strict as regards secrecy which limits finanstilsynet´s possibilities to reply to your request.
However, we have contacted Danske Bank and given the circumstances we can inform you that Mrs. Cedeño Lizardo is not a client of the bank”.
Dicho texto traducido al español sería como sigue:
La Ley Danesa es bien estricta sobre el secreto, lo cual limita la posibilidad de Finanstilsynet de responder a su solicitud:
Sin embargo, hemos contactado al Danske Bank, y dadas las circunstancias, le podemos informar que la Sra. Cedeño Lizardo no es cliente de ese banco. (Traducción de la Superintendencia de Bancos)
Aftert hidding for 120 hours now you come with your chest out quoting a quote from one of Lie-onel's paid employees!
"NG Cortiñas asegura banco de Dinamarca certifica Margarita no tiene cuenta"
"NG Cortiñas assures Danish Bank certifies Margarita has no account"
